Big tech is transforming every aspect of our world. But how, and at what cost? This season of Land of the Giants – The Disney Dilemma – focuses on Disney’s ability to weather the ups and downs of the business cycle and changing tastes and explores what has kept it successful for over 100 years. The entertainment giant has leveraged nostalgia and its intellectual property to build a beloved brand, but after an acquisition spree that included Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox, can it sustain high quality and brand loyalty on a scale that keeps it growing? Who is Disney now, and can it compete against the tech giants in a battle for our attention and dollars?

the audio spike at the start of these episodes peaks my speakers and scares the crap out of me everytime
I was hoping this series would be about the tech, but I was disappointed that it mostly focuses on Elon and Elon drama. There's been so much of that breathlessly covered in the media, so I was hoping for something refreshing.
Am I missing something here? If other studios are pulling their content from Netflix, so that the majority of what Netflix is showing is it's own shows, then it's hardly surprising that most of Netflix's recommendations are Netflix shows. Especially since the content that other producers don't bother to pull from Netflix is presumably the crappy stuff they don't think they can make money from.
You know how people complain about young women speaking with "vocal fry"? In this podcast it's the men using so much vocal fry that I could barely stand to listen.
Given I can't stand Zuckerberg, I hope this goes the way of 3D TV
I thought the Amazon series was far more compelling than Netflix. I just felt that you went light on Netflix and left a lot of the issues too open for interpretation. It's a shame because I loved the Amazon series so much.
I canceled Netflix 2 years ago
I canceled Netflix 2 years ago. Crappy company
I believe that if Alexa have been round in the early 2000's my daughter would be alive today. I can't wait to turn my home into a smart home in improve on my life. https://youtu.be/V54lAcYI9Q4
i appreciate this work but calling the question of whether Amazon is too big "the question of our time" strikes me as an unnecessary reach
totally love the detail you put into every episode. really interested and a recommendation to all my friends already
Searching for a specific product by name and being shown search results that have nothing to do with that product is the most frustrating thing on Amazon and it's horribly dumb.
It's utterly ridiculous and foolish to not be forthright in admitting how fast robotics/automation will take over almost every job field in the next decade or two. Nobody ever even seriously answers the question of what people will do instead either. We need to get on with #UBI @AndrewYang
this is literally any factory though. I worked for a company called Reckitt Benkeizer which repackaged things like Lysol wipes. Their factory still isn't air conditioned. A lot of this is fairly industry standard. So to act like it sets Amazon apart as a bad actor is fairly disingenuous.
