The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy — with Sara Fischer
34 min
This week, The Prof G Pod examines how power and capital are reshaping global competition, from media consolidation and geopolitical tech restrictions to AI valuations and long-term American economic trajectories. Episodes span the business mechanics behind 60 Minutes and the podcast economy, China's exclusion from SpaceX and major IPOs, Anthropic's controversial valuation, and broader reflections on America's next 250 years. The through-line: understanding who controls the future economy and what that concentration means for markets, innovation, and international relations.
