Hey, I'm Seth Shackner. Check out my new show, Breaking Down the Biz. Every week, I sit down with people who actually make movies, music, and media happen.

Executives from Sony, Universal, Apple, NBC. Together, we cut through industry jargon and hype to show you how the business is built.

What's key to making everything come together and why it

matters to you. From iTunes impact on the music industry to the advent of AI, from the

Taylor Swift ticket sales fiasco, to Bad Bunny's mediarch rise, we break down the stories,
