Great host and great insights into cable TV
The host of the show are amazing. It took me a few episodes to even realize what a giant of cable television Doug Herzhog is. His unassuming approach, and excellent interview skills, are not what you would generally associate with a “slick” TV exec. He clearly has a great connection with his guests, and an encyclopedic knowledge of cable TV and its origins. This is such a throwback show, full of memories. Thank you for the great podcast.
