Hi, this is RICOD Media. This is not Peter Kafka, but Peter Kafka is sitting across from me.

Smirking.

In a pink shirt today, his first foray into pink.

Introduce yourself, Gilda.

I am Goulda.

The Goulda Arthur.

I am the senior producer of RICOD Media, and I am the person. You are the person I've wanted to be a recurring character on the show, and today I get my wish. It's my early birthday present. Thank you, Goulda. Today I have lost the battle not to be a presence in the show on the mic, but here I am. We're going to try something a little different today on the show. In a couple of minutes, we're going to get on with the guests on the show, which today are Anjali Soud, who is? CEO of Vimeo. And what is Vimeo? Vimeo is a website that is not YouTube but is still a video website and has had a bunch of different iterations and is doing something pretty interesting. I thought she was great actually. She's a fascinating interview and after that we do, today's a two-for. Two for the price of one, which is $0. You're welcome. Derek Thompson from the Atlantic. We've had him before. He's great. He's got a podcast out.

We'll talk about that. It's just an excuse for me to tap Derek's giant brain about media and everything else. So these are really great guests. And actually I found them both very insightful on a bunch of things. But before we get to that, news. always news to talk about, I think, in media, which is why we're getting to it at the top of the show. I want to know about CBS Viacom. CBS and Viacom. CBS and Viacom. Both controlled slash owned by Sherry Redstone, whose father Sumner built those companies. He's still alive, but his hand is not on the rudder. There's a long story behind that.

You can read Keechagy's great book about how his life.

Anyway, they have been trying to get together.
