In this episode, Paul and Mesh start things off with another music catalog sale as Armin van Buuren's Armada record label is raising funds and has an ambitious plan to acquire dance music catalogs. They then shift to a segment of media that is slowing and discuss the recent closure of Buzzfeed’s Pulitzer Prize-winning news division.
