Summary

When it comes to money and personal finance, I like to think I know a thing or two. But when it comes to technology and gadgets, I turn to Jeff Bakalar, Editor at Large at CNET. It’s a good arrangement: When Jeff has a personal finance question, he knows who to call. And when I need help purchasing a new phone or want to understand what lies ahead on the tech landscape, Jeff returns the favor. The technology world changes so fast it’s almost impossible to keep up with it. Every month it seems, there’s a hot new app, a popular gadget, a hopeful tech IPO, a disruptive innovation, it’s never ending. Have a money question? Email me here.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Jill on Money Podcast. It's Sunday October 4th and this is the second part of our
0:09.4	interview with my friend Jeff Bacelar.
0:12.6	We recorded this interview in the very beginning of March,
0:16.2	and so some of the stuff may sound a little bit
0:19.4	maybe underestimating the impact of the virus, but in this part of the interview we talk about all the different media companies,
0:27.4	whether or not podcasting is in a bubble, and what's going on in the video and gaming industry here's the rest of our
0:34.0	interview with c-nets Jeff Baccholar. You're very immersed in the in the world
0:40.3	of media. What do you see as the landscape of you know going forward like
0:45.0	Netflix is now borrowing a ton of money to create content? Hulu's the
0:50.3	NBC, Peacock thing, Disney Plus like came out like gangbusters
0:55.4	Amazon sort of trying Apple sort of in it like what happens here I don't know what happens here. You're my expert. But I used to think
1:07.1	there was going to be this like massive content bubble that all of these you know and to to some degree you know Netflix kind of

1:29.8	I think that's walked back a little bit but there does not seem to be a shortage of
1:35.1	the need for premium content right there doesn't seem to be this this sort of like
1:41.6	dearth of the you know of the desire to keep having that
1:45.3	which I find kind of interesting and fascinating that it's still a very
1:49.7	lucrative thing for a lot of you know streaming companies and media companies. I don't know
