Season 3, Episode 1: How Streaming Became Cable, But Worse
Hosts Ed Bennett and Chris Boyer face the modern entertainment apocalypse: streaming content. What started as freedom from cable has devolved into a fragmented, confusing, overpriced mess where your favorite show is always on the one service you canceled last month.
They unpack the chaos behind subscription juggling, studio feuds (yes, YouTube TV vs. ESPN/Disney, we see you), and why your monthly bill now looks suspiciously like 2008 Comcast.
This week’s recommendation is for Cory Doctorow’s new book “Enshitification” – a takedown of how platforms rot from the inside. The hosts then kick-off the official “Surprise – It’s Not a Toaster” Book Club – asking readers to follow along from home.
In the AI Stump, they use various GenAI tools to create a new word describing the fear of leaving something behind. Tune in to find out which tool – ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity – created the best term.
SNAT50: Streaming is broken, AI is weird, books are angry, and now we have a new neurosis.
