So welcome to another episode of the Tech Mem Ride Home experience for today is July 14th, 2021.

We've got a lot of news to talk about,

a lot of really exciting and interesting things.

I'm highly caffeinated, but today we actually

have a special guest.

We've got Lucas here from Bloomberg. you know Lucas if you want to like give

us a bit of a sense for your beat for the things you cover. I was looking back on kind of

of your story archive and you've got a bunch of great stuff that Brian and I talk about a lot but

would love to hear it straight from you. Yeah, thanks for having me on. I cover

the business of entertainment or I like to think of it as a future of

entertainment for Bloomberg that includes movies and TV so I write a lot about

Netflix I write a lot about Netflix I write a lot about YouTube I read about

influencers I write about audio so Spotify Apple music and the like and I write a

subjects. I think the the sub headline on it or something is where Hollywood and

Silicon Valley collide which has been what I've written about for the last several years.

Very nice.

Well, we wanted to bring you on because there's been a lot of awesome stuff happening

Well, it's a really difficult subject to have a clear take on, only because I think making grand conclusions about the movie business right now can be very challenging. We have you know feeders open in most places

but not all places in some cases at limited capacity.
