You're listening to the Verge cast, the flagship podcast of the Go 90 scale of Doom

streaming services.

I'm your friend Alex Kranz, and you notice that David's not here because this is the

first episode of The Wednesday Show that I'm taking over while David is out caring for

that absolutely adorable baby he and his wife just had.

We're going to have a really fun time over the next few weeks and we're going to have

a bunch of Verge staff on the show to talk about all kinds of stuff.

And I will try not to have an e-enc segment every week, but I will not promise to not

have an e-enc segment every week.

Anyway, this episode is a really fun one because we're going to be talking about all the

big streaming services.

I mean, Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Disney Plus, Peacock, Paramount Plus, Amazon Prime, all

of them.

And we're going to think about who are the winners and who are the losers.

And to do this, I of course have brought in our Verge Editor-in-Chief, Neil iPadell,

and our Film and TV reporter Charles Pulle of Moore to go through each and every one of

these streaming companies and discuss how they were handled in 2022.

Buckle in for this one.

I made people talk to me about this for over an hour.

It's a lot of fun, but I'm going to go walk my dog now, so I'll see you guys in a minute.
