When will the streamers’ content river run dry?


Listen Later

With the ongoing strikes in Hollywood, the upcoming fall TV season will likely survive on rations of reruns and unscripted content. Once viewers also run out of bingeable streaming series, the streamers might find themselves in a similar position. We’ll hear what Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos had to say about it and get into why the streamers may be better prepared — for now. Plus, we’ll unpack the Biden administration’s war on hidden fees. And, the Women’s World Cup is finally here!

Here’s everything we talked about today:

      • “Netflix adds nearly 6 million paid subscribers amid password sharing crackdown” from CNN Business
          • “Biden targets hidden ‘junk fees’ from banks, cable TV, concert tickets” from Reuters
              • “SEC chair warns of AI’s potential to disrupt markets” from Axios
                  • “There’s evidence that AI has downsides for the legal industry” from Marketplace
                      • “Women’s World Cup likely to draw bigger crowds, revenue” from Marketplace
                          • “New Zealand’s Hannah Wilkinson scores goal vs. Norway in 48′” from Fox Sports
                          • Join us tomorrow for Economics on Tap. The YouTube livestream starts at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time, 6:30 p.m. Eastern. We’ll have news, drinks, a game and more.
