单集简介 ...

The historic movie and television company now known as Warner Bros. Discovery is in high demand. Last week, Netflix announced it would buy some of the company’s most valuable media portfolio for $83 billion. But Paramount Skydance then launched a hostile bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery mere days later. Host Martine Powers speaks with media reporter Scott Nover about why these major media companies want Warner Bros., what a deal could mean for how we watch TV and movies, and how President Donald Trump could become involved in the negotiations. Today’s show was produced by Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to James Graff. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

  • back having conversations with my colleagues on the reporting, and back with all of you listeners.

  • We're turning to a job after some time away.

  • I think a lot of people can relate to this, can feel kind of like, okay, what is it that I do now?

  • And how am I supposed to do my job?

  • How should I be doing it better?

  • And that's one of the reasons why I want to ask you for some help.

  • Me and the rest of the podcast team are trying to learn more about our audience,
