18 - Playing Monopoly (Again): Antitrust Concerns in the World of Trade Publishing


Listen Later

What does the consolidation of Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster mean for the media world at large?

Eitan and Carl take a step into trade publishing to discuss a seismic shift in the industry’s power dynamics. In this episode, they walk through this merger’s potential effects on creators, small businesses, Amazon and Hollywood. This merger also opens up a broader discussion on whether it’s possible for an industry controlled by one monolith to truly champion diversity.

In news this week, they examine the fallout of last week's industry-shattering Warner announcement. Carl also reviews Dolittle.

The main topic starts at 14:12 this week.
