The Media Club with Matt Deegan Why Does Netflix Cancel So Quickly?
As Kaos becomes the latest drama to be axed after one season, TV critic Scott Bryan reveals why streamers kill their commissions so young. Media news and analysis, with host Matt Deegan.
Also on the programme: after ten years of scrutiny, the latest Expert Women report reveals the big shows that are letting the side down. Former broadcast exec Professor Lis Howell is here to tell us who’s booking twice as many men than women.
All that, plus: there are a raft of new studios under construction in the UK... why do we need more? And rather than no work for freelancers, will it soon be... no freelancers for work?
That’s all happening in this edition of The Media Club. Come on in!
A Rethink Audio production, produced by Matt Hill with post-production from Podcast Discovery.
