XAD Ep 34 – HPA Tech Retreat Wrap-Up & The Debut of the XAD Book Club (Tinderbox: HBO’s Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers)!
Gregg Sandheinrich is joined by Greg Dolan to discuss their trip to last week’s HPA Tech Retreat in Palm Springs and their thoughts on a new book about the history of HBO. They start off with a quick discussion around the recent SAG Awards Show and ‘awards season’ leading up The Oscars next month (3:10), followed by their experiences attending last week’s HPA tech Retreat (10:20), what it means for future industry events and trade shows (26:10). Then they take a deep dive into the new book by James Andrew Miller, “Tinderbox: HBO’s Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers”, about the history of HBO from its early cable days, the pivot to original content, and ultimately, their battles in the current streaming wars (29:47).
