Episode 10: Systemic Risk
We detour heavily from the planning syllabus to take a look at the situation in Hollywood. The strikes have now gone past the hundred day mark. Economic strains are beginning to develop. It doesn’t make much sense for us to talk about paid subscription streaming services when the companies that own them are not exactly in the best of financial health.
The episode isn’t totally doom and gloom. There’s a marked deficit of hope in this one, though.
