This used to be one of my favorite podcasts; now, I find it hard to listen to.
When Claude Brodesser-Akner hosted the show, it was compelling and informative. The new host, Masters, is a bit of a letdown. I find the coverage of stories to lack depth and the content has been somehow diluted. In the show's former incarnation, I felt like I was gaining a unique insight into the inner-workings of "the business"; now, with the current show, I am being exposed to news that is better covered elsewhere. The stories are unoriginal, a bit dated, and thin. Kim Masters doesn't seem to have much insider knowledge and appears to be somewhat of a lightweight as a commentator. I would be happy with either being entertained or informed and I find that, lately, the show provides me with neither. Whereas the former host shed a light on the industry, the new host appears to do a number of puff pieces that go nowhere. The new show is different in tone, style, and substance. I don't like any of the changes. As a trivial aside, I also dislike the lead-in and the choices of interstitial music recently.Read full review »

For some reason the "Author" has been changed to KCRW-FM and your subscription may have not updated. Go to Podcasts and do a search for KCRW. Two "The Business" listings will appear. Pick the one that is more relevant and you will see new shows listed.Read full review »
