  • Why are there so many people talking

    I used to love this show but now theres about 15 people on every episode all talking over the top of each other it’s absolute chaos! No one’s getting any value from that kind of conversation. Maybe we could take it back to exactly what the title is: Colin and Samir?? Maybe a guest and an actually direction for each ep

  • Cultural relevance is on point

    I’m such a picky listener and I found these guys via another podcast and started listening to”Netflix podcasts” episode. Binged and started “Instagram the center of the world” episode. What I liked is that they are taking culturally relevant hot topics and not just dropping evergreen content. Good job

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Instagram Changed Its Mind on Long Form Video
Q: How will watch time play into ranking?
Instagram considers watch time and predicted completion, as well as sends, comments, likes and shares. Long-form video must support other valued behaviors, not simply increase time spent.
Why Instagram Changed Its Mind on Long Form Video
Q: What changed since you said long-form video was not a priority?
Mosseri says television has become an important extension of social platforms, but he still believes long-form video must fit alongside Instagram's core strengths in short video and connecting friends.
Tom Segura and Fox Creator Studios: Inside Hollywood's New Business Model
Q: What makes a good idea for you right now when you're evaluating new projects with Fox Creator Studios?
A good idea is something the creator is genuinely excited about, has conviction on, and shows potential for a business case—whether through direct-to-consumer sales, brand partnerships, or format longevity across platforms.
Tom Segura and Fox Creator Studios: Inside Hollywood's New Business Model
Q: All right, so, Tom, we want to start with you. Tell us how your career evolved from stand-up to podcasting and beyond.
Tom outlines his progression from stand-up in 2002 to starting Your Mom's House in 2010, discovering podcasting's potential after fans engaged with content online, and then using live shows, pay-per-view events, and Netflix deals to build a diversified content business.
CANNES DAY 1: Anthpo, Ramp, and The Best Ads of the Year
Q: How can startups or creators position themselves for brand deals?
Show up with a clear value proposition, demonstrate consistency and trust, and highlight how your unique voice can augment the brand rather than just placing a product in front of an audience.
