Episode notes
Narrative Is The Media Person's Core
- Media people understand narrative, tension, and how to make others feel something.
- They endure because content-skilled troublemakers shape stories audiences remember.

- Job cuts in media and creative production reflect a broader efficiency push tied to software and AI.
- Older managerial roles get compressed as younger workers with better tools replace expensive layers.
