In this longform episode, we talk all things media. With the rise of TikTok, the GameStop saga, the influencer economy, and Clubhouse, we begin with understanding how we got here. The publishing bubble, the old and physical media, and information asymmetries of the past.

Then came the Internet, which changed everything. Distribution, physical media's monopoly, was suddenly eaten up by the Internet. Multitemporality was the new norm. Here, we talk of media consolidation, shared experiences, Disney, and Buzzfeed.

The future will lead us into a Metaverse of sorts. What does that look like? Where are we headed? How does traditional media change because of new-age media?

Tune in to listen to this rather comprehensive take on the past, present, and future of media.
