i mean the ror-dawg already shut it down, but if anything i think a shop like giant bomb is proof-of-concept on how to be flexible and get it done when the world is turned upside down. they've been doing a stellar job- and looking at the daily streaming numbers, it feels like they haven't skipped a beat.
now is podcast listening tanking- thereby taking some ad rev with it? maybe- i've heard a lot of podcasts are taking a hit due to commutes not really being a thing, so that's probably a bummer. but my gut tells me maybe the various gb-produced pods might have a more resilient listenership than the more mainstream stuff.
viacomCBS? that's a separate question- one hopes that gb is an efficient enough business (seems like it would be- low staff # coupled with subs suggests it's more sustainable that other arms of the corporation) that they would be insulated from any COVID-related financial turbulence.
but then again- these are strange days, and every sector is going to feel it at some point.
