b"My guest today, Matthew Ball, is a long time coming. He\\u2019s the former head of strategy at Amazon Studios, an investor, and probably my favorite business essayist writing today. In fact, I can\\u2019t think of another author whose work I read as quickly once a new essay drops. Read his latest on the past and future of Nintendo and you\\u2019ll see why. Our conversation is all about the past and future of media. We discuss movies, music, television, video games, and the metaverse. When I re-listened to this episode I couldn\\u2019t believe how much information was in Matthew's head and how easily he covered so many topics in depth.
