Prince Andrew: The Disney+ Era
Summary
Marina Hyde and Richard Osman answer listener questions, starting with a debate on which British scandal—like the 1987 Royal Knockout fiasco or the Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon saga—Ryan Murphy should adapt. They discuss the economics of TV experts, explaining why academics often appear unpaid for media exposure, and analyze the budgetary algorithms behind The Chase that require chasers to win roughly 75% of the time. The hosts also explore the complex IP landscape of Netflix’s new Wonka game show, noting the partnership between the Ferrero Group and the Roald Dahl estate.
