The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy — with Sara Fischer

Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners.

New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. In today's office hours, we discuss who will replace 60 Minutes or what will replace 60 Minutes, why billionaires keep buying media companies, and whether podcasting has already past its peak. We're joined today by Sarah Fisher, media correspondent at Axios. Sarah, welcome to Proptuy's Office Hours. Hi, thanks for having me.

We're excited about this. Our producers, when we tried to find a talented insightful person on media, um, two separate people on the team uh came back and suggested and your name was floated, so we're happy you're here. You ready to go? I'm ready.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (34 minutes, 5,861 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
