Manage episode 233088359 series 1108786
The world of streaming is in a tumultuous period. Many Netflix competitors are entering the market, pure-music companies like Spotify are having trouble generating revenue, and Game of Thrones is ending! Freelance Writer, Editor, and Photographer for CNET and The New York Times, Geoffrey Morrison, and Audio and Musical Instrument Writer for The Wirecutter, SoundStage! Solo, JazzTimes, Brent Butterworth, discuss Spotify and their apparent subscriber gains amidst their capital loss. Is there a way back for Spotify? Or is their business model too narrow to be financially advantageous? We also chat about the competition Netflix is soon to face with players like Disney Plus, Apple, and others throwing their lot into the mix. Disney is likely the biggest threat to Netflix's video streaming dominance. How do companies like HBO factor into the equation, with their flagship series ending soon? In other news, Huawei has announced they will be releasing a 8K 5G television that has us wondering "who even needs this?" We close out the show with a look at the constant onslaught of small audio-based trade shows that keep Brent busy throughout the year, and how more companies are moving away from tradeshow giants like CES in favor of these smaller venues. Tune in to learn more about these topics and more!
