Streamers' Amazon bet, OpenAI loses its crown and an AI gym hack | The Media Beat Ep #102 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Deep Dive this time looks at content makers who don't have a platform. Smart division of labour or risky lack of control of the value chain? We investigate. We also have bad news for NBA fans and the battle for AI hearts and minds and YouTube spending power dominate the news. We are promised spectacular podmojis (c) to illustrate Bob Iger's big shop, GTA6s leak and AI hacks.
Streaming Discovery, Public Nuisance and TikTok Shop | The Media Beat #101 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This time we take a deep dive into how streamers try to achieve the almost impossible: serve up suggestions for the next content to hook us! Spoiler Alert: It is very very complicated. And fascinating! The news covers massive fines which do good, old fashioned hardware which doesn't and an update into where we do our shopping. Maureen pulls off a surprise Podmoji from nowhere as we learn about Jukebox Musicals, how to stop the slop and which four notes Gen Alpha can't get enough of.
The New Cinema Economy, Comic-Con's Hollywood Moment and a Musical Lollipop | The Media Beat #100 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well, we made it! Episode #100! And for this milestone, we are... following our standard formula! We deep dive on "The Movies" and how viewing habits and economics are changing. News from Comicon, Paramount and Fortnite is tail-ended by talk of live music, a half-time aberration and musical confectionery.
Non-English TV, Netflix Wobbles and Emmy Nominations | The Media Beat #99 (opens the original)

This week's fascinating DD looks into non-English creative work and how it becoming more and more centre stage in the world of entertainment. Netflix announce their results, Channel 4 and the BBC jam (or spat?) and it's hard times at X-Box. We have a look at the Emmy nominations too!
