Welcome to Episode 40! We break down the top sports media stories of the past two weeks. Bill has been talking the Disney/Charter dispute a lot on the pod, so we go further in-depth on the story, including what it means for the upcoming NBA deal. We also talk Mina Kimes' new ESPN contract and why it made sense over The Ringer, and assess the health of Spotify's podcasting business, plus Bill being on the rise at the company.

Follow the show and leave us a five star review and we'll read it on the next pod! Thanks for listening
