Spotify is no longer just an audio platform. Video podcasts are now at the centre of its growth strategy — and according to Spotify's Rowan Collinson, they are rapidly becoming one of the most important opportunities in the digital-first production economy. In this episode of TellyCast, Justin Crosby speaks to Rowan Collinson, Audience Lead at Spotify, about why video podcasts are exploding, how creators are building entire IP ecosystems around shows, and what traditional TV producers need to understand about succeeding in social video and podcasting.Rowan explains why podcasting is becoming a natural entry point for TV indies moving into digital-first content, how Spotify's Partner Programme creates new revenue opportunities, and why genres like comedy, true crime and interview formats are thriving on the platform.The conversation also explores data, retention metrics, creator monetisation, the rise of vertical video, Channel 4's move into Spotify video podcasts, and why the future belongs to always-on content brands rather than traditional six-part TV commissions.Sign up for The Drop newsletterSupport the showEnrol on the TellyCast Digital BootcampAttend the Digital Video AwardsSubscribe to the TellyCast YouTube channel for exclusive TV industry videosFollow us on LinkedInConnect with Justin on LinkedINTellyCast videos on YouTubeTellyCast websiteTellyCast instaTellyCast TwitterTellyCast TikTok

Attorney and former Special Counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Jack Smith is drawing scrutiny after a memo revealed that only six people were aware that President Trump had taken classified documents. The television industry continues to contract, with Stamford, Connecticut, feeling the impact particularly hard.

John Maytham is joined by Jack Devnarain, Chairperson of the South African Guild of Actors, who says the scale of this march reflects the depth of the crisis. For the first time, the entire value chain — from actors and writers to producers, crew, editors and post-production professionals — will march together in what organisers describe as an unprecedented show of unity. At the heart of the protest is mounting frustration with the DTIC Film and TV Incentive, which industry bodies say has been paralysed by mismanagement, leaving hundreds of millions of rand in foreign direct investment bottlenecked. Afternoon Drive with John Maytham is the late afternoon show on CapeTalk. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather.

"The New York office asked me if I'd like to transfer there as supervisor and a pay raise that was literally three times greater than what I was earning at the time as a 25-year-old ‘newbie' in the world of advertising. My immediate response was: 'No thank you, I want to make movies.' Soon thereafter I accepted a job as a production assistant on a TV show called 'Dream On' which was featured on HBO, for a tiny fraction of the salary I was offered in the ad business. My gut told me that if I took that high-paying job I would be shackled by the proverbial ‘golden handcuffs' and never be able to pursue my passion for the film and TV industry. My gut was spot on and I have been creating a career that I love every day ever since.” Tim Tortora has spent his impressive career in the entertainment industry garnering extensive financial and producing experience before releasing his second book “An Effective Guide to Build Your Path in The Film and TV Industry.” His latest book and companion Community guides aspiring filmmakers through the black box that is building a durable network in film and TV production.

On the reality-TV dating show “Love Is Blind,” the most watched original series in Netflix history, contestants are alone in windowless, octagonal pods with no access to their phones or the Internet. They talk to each other through the walls. There's intrigue, romance, heartbreak, and, in some cases, sight-unseen engagements. According to several lawsuits, there's also lack of sleep, lack of food and water, twenty-hour work days, and alleged physical and emotional abuse. The New Yorker staff writer Emily Nussbaum has been reporting on what these lawsuits reveal about the culture on the set of “Love Is Blind,” and a push for a new union to give reality-TV stars employee protections and rights. “The people who are on reality shows are a vulnerable class of people who are mistreated by the industry in ways that are made invisible to people, including to fans who love the shows,” Nussbaum tells David Remnick. Nussbaum's forthcoming book is “Cue the Sun! The Invention of Reality TV.”

For viewers, streaming has ushered in an era of Peak TV with a seemingly endless amount of shows to binge. But, writers on strike say they're not experiencing the same golden age when it comes to compensation and job stability. And, some streaming companies are struggling to hang on to subscribers in an ultra-competitive market. This has us wondering: Has streaming broken TV? On the show today, Kate Fortmueller, professor of entertainment and media studies at the University of Georgia, explains how streaming has changed the way film and TV writers make a living, why studios' priorities have shifted in the streaming age, and what might be ahead for the industry. Plus, why screenwriters are asking for limits on the use of AI. In the News Fix: Looking back at a previous writers strike might hint at the impact of the current strike. And, Home Depot says it expects a drop in annual sales for the first time in over a decade. We’ll get into what that might say about the housing market. Later, a listener shares their experience ordering pizza from an AI bot. Plus, according to another listener, keeping things tidy with young kids is much harder than they had thought. Here’s everything we talked about today: “The 2023 Writers Strike, Explained” from GQ “Why You Should Pay Attention to the Hollywood Writers’ Strike” from The Atlantic “The long game between writers and AI” from Politico “What Is a Mini Room? Writers Guild Contract Negotiation Focus on Them” from Variety “Writers striking worry AI could stymie diversity efforts in Hollywood” from Axios “Opinion | Hollywood writers strike risks a lot as TikTok and YouTube loom” from The Washington Post “Home Depot Projects First Annual Sales Decline Since 2009” from The Wall Street Journal “Home Remodeling Market Projected to Contract by 2024 from the Joint Center for Housing Studies It's our May fundraiser.
