Summary
Today we want to give you a break from the heavier headlines and talk about something fun: entertainment! Specifically, video streaming services. There are so many of them now – it can be tough to keep up with all the options!

Then, we're talking more about the future and business side of streaming with entertainment industry lawyer, and former Marvel Studios attorney, Paul Sarker.
