What's Hot At MIPCOM: Video Games, Anime & Being Friendly

Tara Conlan and Thomas Curry join Matt Deegan

We’ve packed a lot into this week’s The Media Club. Media writer Tara Conlan joins to explain why YouTube’s arrival at MIPCOM marks a tipping point for the creator economy, whilst BBC Studios’ Thomas Curry surveys the podcast landscape as Spotify strikes more deals with streamers.

We take a look at Sony Pictures’ pivot to video games and anime as the new IP battlegrounds, and why Netflix and Spotify have teamed up to host Ringer podcasts whilst pulling them from YouTube. Also on the show, Channel 4 and UKTV strike a landmark streaming deal, the Daily Mail doubles down on TikTok content, and why Marc Maron has finally hung up his headphones after nearly 1,700 episodes.

Plus in the Media Quiz, we discover why our sector will never be the same again with post-apocalyptic treatments of three media stories from the week.
