Every episode of Always Be Watching is a special one. But this week is incredibly special with special guest co-host Simon Band joining Dan Barrett to discuss the shows recently watched. Simon is very British. Almost too British. So, he discusses the UK panel chat comedy show The Big Fat Quiz. Dan is an artfully-minded guy and so he brings to the table the arty horror film Midsommar. And then the two TV podcasters offer some thoughts on the Mandaloran finale and the series as a whole

Televised Revolution Podcast — Episode 473

This is the final Televised Revolution podcast. At least for now. We might be back. We might not.

On this, the final episode, we look back at the past ten years. We, Dan Barrett, Simon Band, and Dennis Dugandzic, have done the show for a decade and have seen a lot of things change in how we watch TV. We discuss what we have been watching, how we have watched it, and what we expect ten years from now.

We also discuss the TV that we have loved during this time. Can you believe The Sopranos was still on air when we started? Madness.

EPISODE 466

In a week of fairly minor TV news for the week, our panel of Dan Barrett, Simon Band, and Dennis Dugandzic find that the news stories really cut to the core of some of the big changes facing traditional broadcast and streaming services. Specifically, they discuss this week:

*Connie Britton wants out of Nashville *Amazon pick up The Kettering Incident *Australian Survivor moves to 3 nights a week – who has that much time? *1.2 million tune in for The Big Music Quiz – why? Will they be back next week? *Ahead of Aus Viceland launch, should anyone be bothered about its low US ratings?

EPISODE 463

The world is becoming a much smaller place. With so many viewers engaging in geo-dodging behaviours, international digital developments are starting to have a direct impact on the shows and services we access locally. But even taking that out of the equation, the movements we see happen overseas are often echoed by local content providers. Even if it is a couple of years later.

This week on Televised Revolution we’re looking at some big international shifts we’ve witnessed in the past week:

Time Warner buy 10% of Hulu

E! are planning five Facebook Live shows

BBC make moves to limit iPlayer access to TV license holders in the UK.
