    Sam Sanders Refuses To Rush

    ** Programming note: We will be taking a break after today’s episode. We don’t know when we’ll be back exactly, but we will do another run of 10 or so episodes when we do! **  We are so happy to be joined today by the one and only, Sam Sanders. Sam is an award-winning reporter, radio host, and podcaster. He is the host and executive producer of “The Sam Sanders Show” in conjunction with KCRW, distributed nationally as a radio show by PRX. We hear Sam’s thoughts on his work in podcasting today — as compared to 10 years ago when he launched “The NPR Politics Podcast” — and what the next 10 years might look like. “Survival is success,” Sam recently shared in an interview with Forbes reflecting on a career that has steadily earned him more control over his content. Over a decade later, that control has now taught him the value of quieting the sense of urgency and perfectionism that animates so many young careers in media, and instead to be someone who is wholly reliable.  For more, follow us on all platforms at @thisistvnow; watch us on YouTube; and subscribe to Good Tape Magazine to support independent podcast journalism. “This Is TV Now” is coproduced by Good Tape Studio and Tiny Legends Productions; mixed and edited by Fred Muñoz; engineered by Thomas Ouellette; artwork designed by Sami Wittwer for Good Tape Studio with photography by Maggie Shannon; clips design by Andrew Callaway; and our theme song "Knew Me When" by Bryan B.

    Welcome to 'This Is TV Now'

    “This Is TV Now” is a new podcast from Good Tape hosted by industry insider Dane Cardiel and industry outsider Stella Young.  At a time when many media workers question their place in a video-first environment, “This Is TV Now” will remove the corporate spin and self-fulfilling narratives to reveal what many of us in podcasting feel deeply: No one actually knows what they’re doing.  “This Is TV Now” will invite guests with experience and knowledge of podcasting's impact on culture and ask whether this medium can be solidified within the broader entertainment ecosystem. While the meta-narrative of our industry tends to be in the hands of executives and business leaders who are several steps removed from the cultural production of podcasts, “This Is TV Now” will focus its lens on the people who make this medium one to follow: hosts, showrunners, producers, and the occasional creative executive.  You can follow us on all platforms at @thisistvnow; subscribe to us on YouTube; and become a monthly subscriber of Good Tape to support our independent podcast journalism. “This Is TV Now” is coproduced by Good Tape Studio and Tiny Legends Productions; mixed and edited by Fred Muñoz; engineered by Thomas Ouellette; artwork designed by Sami Wittwer for Good Tape Studio with photography by Maggie Shannon; trailer and clips design by Andrew Callaway. — — See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
