| 0:05.5 | My name is Matt Bellany. I'm founding partner at Puck and the writer of the What I'm Hearing newsletter. |
| 0:10.0 | And with my show, The Town, I bring you the inside conversation about money and power in |
| 0:14.2 | Hollywood. Every week we've got three short episodes featuring real Hollywood insiders |
| 0:18.6 | to tell you what people in town are actually talking about. We'll cover everything from why your favorite show was |
| 0:23.9 | canceled overnight. Which streamer is on the brink of collapse and which |
