If ever there were a time for DEVO, THIS is that de-evolutionary time!  In this episode, Peter interviews iconoclastic New Wave band DEVO's founding member, co-songwriter and co-lead singer Gerald Casale to learn the real story behind the surprising hit song "Whip It."  Gerald also discusses how "Whip It" from the band's 3rd album "Freedom of Choice" - which hit its 40th year milestone in 2020 - represented a sea change to electronic dance music from the band's earlier guitar-driven songs.  Gerald similarly delves into the song "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA" from that earlier second album (and discusses its origins as well).  Finally, Gerald and Peter discuss DEVO's relevance and impact today - DEVO's future plans for tomorrow - and the de-evolutionary years ahead.Reach out to host Peter Csathy at peter@creativemedia.biz, and check out Peter's entertainment, media, AI and tech-focused business advisory and legal services firm Creative Media.

We all watch Netflix, and we all love it.  After all, what's not to love (especially when we are locked in our homes)?  But, as invincible as this streaming giant seems, it isn't.  No company is.  The Blockbusters and Kodaks of the world remind us of that.  In this provocative episode, Peter takes the bear's contrarian argument about Netflix and its prospects.  He lays out Netflix's very real, and very significant, vulnerabilities.  Peter also identifies potential ways those vulnerabilities can be addressed and risks mitigated.  So can Netflix go it alone in the long-run?  Or will a much bigger fish ultimately swallow it up?  Listen and then place your bets.Reach out to host Peter Csathy at peter@creativemedia.biz, and check out Peter's entertainment, media, AI and tech-focused business advisory and legal services firm Creative Media.
