If you're a fan of the inner workings of Hollywood, then check out my podcast, The Town, on the Ringer Podcast Network.

My name is Matt Bellany. I'm founding partner at Puck and the writer of the What I'm Hearing newsletter.

And with my show, The Town, I bring you the inside conversation about money and power in

Hollywood. Every week we've got three short episodes featuring real Hollywood insiders

to tell you what people in town are actually talking about. We'll cover everything from why your favorite show was

canceled overnight. Which streamer is on the brink of collapse and which

executives on the hot seat. Disney, Netflix, who's up, down, and who will never

eat lunch in this town again.

Follow the town on Spotify or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, I'm Tara Paul Mary. I'm Puck's Senior Political Correspondent, and this is

41%. Now Trump leads among men by five points, that's Trump at 51% among men to 46% for Harris.
