Description
Hosts Carl and Eitan constantly find themselves stuck in the details of what’s developing in media, technology and entertainment. Every week, the two self-described media strategy nerds contextualize what you need to know as the worlds of Hollywood, Orlando and Silicon Valley collide. From your couch to the seat of a 1950s theme park dark ride, Carl and Eitan love talking about the business of anything and everything that could entertain you.
