Show Notes

James Andrew Miller, author of the new HBO oral history "Tinderbox," shares what he learned through his interviews with five decades of network executives, stars and producers. HBO created a "whole new pathway for people to experience television," he says. But now it is under tremendous pressure from the likes of Netflix. Miller also discusses the impacts of the AT&T-Time Warner deal and his interviews with media moguls about the pending combination of WarnerMedia and Discovery. Referring to the streaming race, he says "it's a really expensive war" and "not everyone is going to make it."
