As the 79th Cannes Film Festival opens on the Croisette, politics is competing with glamour for attention. Hundreds of figures from the French film industry have signed an open letter warning about what they describe as the growing influence of the far right within French cinema and media. At the centre of the controversy is French billionaire and media tycoon Vincent Bolloré, owner of Canal+, the powerful television group that plays a major role in financing French films.
Township just hit $45M/month - at 17 years old. How?We sit down with Erno Kiiski (Game Refinery, a Liftoff company) to dissect what is arguably the most underrated transformation in mobile gaming: how Playrix quietly turned an evergreen farming tycoon into a stealth match-3 game with the tycoon repurposed as a UA funnel.We trace 17 years of Township across five eras — from Facebook Canvas farming sim to hyper-casual mini-game platform to its current form, where match-3 is the main engine and the tycoon is essentially the onboarding. Plus a year-by-year archaeology dig through Township's UA creatives from 2019 to 2026: Pull the Pin, Golden Goblins, Idle Lumber, King Shot iterations, and AI-generated ads.If you work in mobile games, product, or UA — this episode will change how you think about evergreen titles, portfolio strategy, and the CPI/LTV equation.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Pompeii's story is usually told through the lens of catastrophe—perfectly preserved bodies frozen in ash, a civilization erased in hours, sort of like a Roman version of the Chicxulub impactor that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago —but the real tragedy isn't just that Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Worse is that we've forgotten the thousands of ordinary people who lived full, ambitious lives before that final day. These stories include a slave named Petrinus hoped to buy his freedom with earnings from side work, fish sauce merchant Aulus Umbricius Scaurus (who shipped garum bottles as far as Gaul while planning his next business expansion), and wealthy entrepreneur Julia Felix prepared her rental apartments to host the mysterious Cult of Isis. The mortality rate was only 9-11 percent because residents had eighteen hours to evacuate before superheated ash clouds arrived—this wasn't the extinction of the dinosaurs, yet we've reduced these vibrant lives to silent ruins and plaster casts. Today's guest is Jess Venner, author of The Lost Voices of Pompeii: A Gripping History of Seven Lives on the Last Day in Pompeii. We discuss how she reconstructed the life of slave Petrinus from a single loan contract listing him as collateral between two women, the condiment tycoon Scaurus sold his famous fermented fish sauce throughout the Roman Empire, and how politician Gaius Cuspius Pansa's campaign advertisements still cover the city walls two millennia later. We also see why nearly 20% of Pompeii remains unexcavated and how new X-ray phase-contrast tomography is finally allowing researchers to virtually unroll carbonized Herculaneum papyri, potentially recovering lost Epicurean philosophy once thought destroyed forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has been at the center of high-stakes drama and empire-building buzz over the past few days. According to the Times of India, a brutal storm during Beast Games season 2 filming in Las Vegas cost him millions, with daily delays racking up a million bucks in plane fees for equipment hauls and another half-million in crew wages, forcing the team into midnight marathons to squeeze five-hour games into two. Despite the chaos damaging gear and circuits, the Squid Game-style hit on Amazon Prime pushed forward to massive success, echoing his relentless drive.Even hotter, Senator Elizabeth Warren fired off a stern letter to Beast Industries, as reported by Hindustan Times, grilling them over the recent acquisition of teen banking app Step.

Adam Waterous, oil tycoon and ski-resort owner, joins Alberta Edge to discuss his unusual, decade-long fight against what he and a watchdog group call an "extreme monopoly" in Canada's national parks tourism industry. What began as a vision to build a passenger rail line connecting Calgary to Banff turned into an "in for a penny, in for a pound" saga involving the purchase of a ski hill, a challenge to a powerful U.S.-based tourism company, and tough questions about the role of Parks Canada. Waterous argues the case reveals deeper problems in Canada's regulatory system, why costs are rising for visitors, and how control over iconic landscapes can become a question of Canadian identity.

Canada has always been integral to Pursuit's success and remains central to our future. While we operate globally, our Canadian experiences are led by local teams based in their communities, ensuring decisions reflect local knowledge, long-term relationships, and the character of these iconic places. With roots in the Canadian Rockies dating back 130 years, we're proud to be deeply connected to Alberta's communities. Over the past decade, we've added more than 1,200 jobs in Alberta, reinvested 100% of Canadian profits into local operations, enhancing guest experiences and refreshing tourism infrastructure with a focus on long-term sustainability; and contributed $3.8 million in community support between 2020 and 2025 at the community level in Banff and Jasper. Our Promise to Place guides us to protect natural environments, respect local heritage, and strengthen communities. This commitment drives our investments in our team members, the world-class experiences we provide to guests, and our commitment to sustainability to ensure the Canadian Rockies remain vibrant for generations to come." In 2024, the Competition Bureau conducted a detailed and independent review of Pursuit's acquisition of the Jasper SkyTram. That review examined competition related concerns raised by a group of private business operators in Banff and concluded in April 2025 with no further action. As part of that review, the Bureau assessed official market data, including how tourism experiences operate across different geographic areas in the Canadian Rockies. With this information, the Bureau determined there were no competition concerns that warranted further steps. With the review complete, Pursuit remains focused on responsibly operating and reinvesting in the places where we work, including the Canadian Rockies, with a long term commitment to people, place, and stewardship."

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST'S OPPOSITION TO FDR Colleague David Pietrusza. Media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, who controls a vast network of newspapers and radio stations, turns against Roosevelt as the New Deal moves left. Hearst's reputation suffers after a controversial 1934 meeting with Hitler, which accelerates his decline in popularity. By 1936, Roosevelt views Hearst and the wealthy "economic royalists" as political targets. In a conversation with an intermediary, Roosevelt jokes about throwing millionaires to the wolves, further inflaming Hearst. Consequently, the publisher commits his media empire to unseating the President, seeking a Republican candidate to support. NUMBER 51936 BRITISH ARMY AT THE JAFFA GATE FOR THE TURMOIL IN PALESTINE
Episode 99: Ty Dolla $ign. One of the only artists to earn TWO diamond records in the last decade, Ty Dolla $ign joins us for a deep, musician-to-musician conversation about a career built on trust, taste, and timeless records. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Ty grew up surrounded by live music through his father, musician Tyrone Griffin Sr. of Lakeside, learning instruments at a young age and developing a deep respect for musicianship before fame ever entered the picture. In this interview, Ty breaks down his journey from South Central LA to becoming one of the most trusted collaborators in modern music. We talk through the early days of Beach House, the breakout impact of “Paranoid” and “Or Nah” with DJ Mustard, and how songwriting and features like “Loyal" and “Psycho” helped shape his rise. Ty reflects on the making of Free TC, the emotional weight behind the album, and carrying his brother with him throughout his career. Ty opens up about working across genres, collaborating with artists like The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Skrillex, YG, Wiz Khalifa, Terrace Martin, Kanye, and more. We talk his songwriting and production process, and how he approaches features musically, treating voices like instruments and focusing on frequency, tone, and feel over star power. We also dive into his role as a label co-founder with EZMNY Records, signing and developing Leon Thomas, and witnessing Leon's rapid rise from artist development to Grammy-nominated albums (Electric Dusk and Mutt). Ty shares his philosophy on mentorship, artist development, long term friendships, women, and building a label rooted in belief and musicianship. We get into Vultures, creative collaboration at scale, returning to solo work with Tycoon, and what longevity, growth, and being a “musician first” really mean to him today. This is an honest, in-depth look at Ty Dolla $ign's career. The hits, the craft, the relationships, and the long game. I hope you enjoy episode 99. Lets go!!

We close out Ep 293 with a full walkthrough of HobbySpectrum.com and what's coming next. Jeremy explains the core idea: discovering your collector identity by taking the Collector Investor Spectrum assessment and finding your placement across seven archetypes, from Purist to Tycoon. He also explains why the site is currently gated, why onboarding is gradual, and what listeners can do right now: join the waitlist and get ready to set aside 20 to 25 minutes for the assessment. Jeremy then shares a live look at the Spectrum Directory, including a new feature that lets you filter by score or archetype, see who matches your exact number, and quickly find like minded collectors. He also highlights a major update: members can now add their social links so the directory becomes a practical bridge to the platforms people already use, not a replacement for them. From there, the conversation shifts into a candid moment about the idea of transparency in the hobby. If we demand transparency from grading, auction houses, and platforms, what does it look like when collectors turn some of that transparency inward? Jeremy makes the point that opting into the directory is optional and privacy matters, but that the directory can help build real community if people choose to participate. The episode finishes with rapid fire comments and a fun closer: hobbyists share their favorite pickups and best hobby memories of 2025, from Ice Bowl history to Kobe refractors, Brady autos, vintage baseball, hockey heat, and everything in between. Jeremy and Josh also touch on the ongoing reality of grading inconsistency, why authentication still matters, and why buying the card, not the label, remains the best long term approach.

PREVIEW — Brandon Weichert — Jensen Huang and Nvidia's Geopolitical Influence. Weichert identifies Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as potentially America's most consequential and strategically important technology tycoon, arguing he now surpasses Elon Musk in direct geopolitical influence and institutional power to shape American foreign policy and national security priorities. Weichert suggests that Huang's desire to expand semiconductor chip sales into Chinesemarkets is systematically influencing the Biden administration to soften its national security rhetoric and shift from hawkish threat characterization to dovish diplomatic accommodation regarding Beijing, potentially subordinating American strategic autonomy to Nvidia's commercial interests and market access imperatives. 1958
On this episode, host David Taylor dives into one of the most eventful stretches the Fortnite Creative / UEFN ecosystem has seen in months. Epic has rolled out a wave of major updates — from monetization changes to discovery shifts — and today we unpack what they mean for creators, studios, and the future of the platform.David is joined by two fantastic guests. Chad Mustard, COO of JOGO Studios, returns to the show after another breakout year as one of the top 10 developers on Fortnite by total plays. Chad brings a studio-level perspective on building hit experiences, navigating updates, and scaling inside a fast-evolving ecosystem. He's joined by Jon Jungemann, better known as SleightedSloth, a leading creator in the Tycoon genre and one of the most thoughtful voices on systems design, monetization, and the economics of UEFN.Together, the group breaks down the rise of Steal the Brainrot and what that breakout moment signals for developers — from production trends to player behavior to what “success” looks like in today's marketplace. They also explore the wave of M&A activity beginning to emerge inside Fortnite Creative and what kinds of deals are actually happening behind the scenes.From there, the conversation shifts to the biggest structural changes Epic has introduced: in-island item sales (and why they might be the single biggest unlock for creators to date), the rollout of UA Rewards and Paid Campaigns, and the latest adjustments to Discovery. We dig into how these tools reshape studio strategy, how developers are adapting their designs, and what all of this means for long-term sustainability on the platform.We'd like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible!
