The Canadian digital first creator economy isn't something that politicians or policy makers seem to know much about, but they are quick to propose legislative reforms that directly implicate it, most recently in the form of Bill C-10. Yet the sector is thriving, with Canadian stars earning millions of dollars and attracting global audiences that often exceed Canada’s conventional film and television sector. Scott Benzie, the CEO of Buffer Festival, started in traditional media but now advocates and works with creators, platforms and industry around online content. He joins the Law Bytes podcast to discuss the current state of digital first creators in Canada, their omission from the Bill C-10 process, and the formation of Digital First Canada, a new advocacy group to better represent the needs of the community. The podcast can be downloaded here, accessed on YouTube, and is embedded below. Subscribe to the podcast via Apple Podcast, Google Play, Spotify or the RSS feed.

Thank you Rachel for taking the time for this podcast (this was the 2nd ever podcast I recorded as a host and we started with technical difficulties that delayed the start a fair bit). If you're a listener and still reading this, Rachel offers a free course to listeners near the end of the podcast... may or may not be around the 48 minute mark and all it involves is a DM. Let me know what you, the listeners, think of the episode - this one was a lot of fun! LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Youtube 2019 Ted Talk

First, a *major* shout out to Toronto’s Buffer Festival and its staff, who were instrumental in arranging this interview. Buffer Festival is the world's largest international digital-first film festival. It features theatrical screenings, red carpets, educational keynotes, and awards — and you should definitely check it out at bufferfestival.comIn this episode of Now & Next we explore how a major legacy media company is navigating the shift from the “lean back” experience of linear television to the short, snappy, and on-the-go mode of mobile viewing.We dig into this with Brendan Yam, vice president and general manager of Viacom Digital Studios International. He has been with the company since 2005, and for the past year and a half, has led the company’s short form digital content output — and its conquest of global markets.To dig deeper, visit trends.cmf-fmc.ca

This episode was recorded just as Tom was back from his VidCon London experience in February and we thought it would be a good idea to talk about VidCon  VidCon Ahaheim is arguably the largest YouTuber and creator gathering in the world. It is the arguably the South by South West (SXSW) of YouTubers, it is an amazing conference for fans and creators. Anyone who has attended one knows how crazy this gathering for creators and fans but is it worth it for channel managers and content managers who work behind the scenes?  What are the must-attend conferences out there for video insiders?  Join us as we discuss this and other conferences that might be of interest.  Vidcon was created by the Green brothers 10 years ago as a gathering for creators. How was VidCon London and is there a real change since Viacom took over? Should you avoid the creator track? What are the other YouTube conferences that insiders should attend? ex: Playlist Live, Buffer Festival or VidSummit Social  The Video Insiders Podcast is available on all major podcast players.
