Disney's Doctor Who Era Ends and YouTube Filmmaking
Ben Zand and Rebecca Cooney join Matt Deegan
This week filmmaker Ben Zand joins fresh from launching his YouTube series Human, whilst Broadcast’s Rebecca Cooney explains what Disney’s Doctor Who departure means for the BBC’s flagship sci-fi series.
We’re also talking about why AI-generated news content might be more widespread than you think, and how OpenAI’s Sora 2 is creating videos that are almost impossible to distinguish from reality. Also on the show, nine indies shortlisted for the BBC’s next mega-format commission, Steve Coogan’s libel settlement creating awkward headlines, and why Louis Theroux lost a major podcast sponsor.
Plus in the Media Quiz, we play “Medialand” - pitching media stories as potential episodes for Ben’s documentary series format.
