We're joined this week by Alexa Speed, the person behind Cut Off The Spigot to discuss the major players in the streaming wars and how you can be a more ethical consumer of digital media. This is a great conversation for someone who's struggling with finding a way to escape the stranglehold these gigantic companies seem to have on our wallets.

CORRECTION: There is a point in this conversation when AMC is being discussed and BritBox is named as one of their subsidiaries. This is incorrect! AMC had a stake in BBC America which owns BritBox. AMC owns a different British content streaming service: Acorn TV!
