❤️ Great show on interesting topics in the media business. Everyone is simply great--very professional--but I live for Julia Alexander's brilliant strategic insights!
Disappointed to hear Julia boosting Hasan Piker, an open antisemite and terrorist-supporter.
I get a lot out of this podcast. Hope Jon Kelly realizes that Julia Alexander is not just a sidekick, she is the reason many people tune in.
Dylan does such a wonderful job of bringing the audience to what feels like a chic off the record conversation.
I love this show. Listen every week. But those Ruthless guys were a bunch of bro’y gaslighters. First Grill Room I didn’t listen to all the way thru.
