Customer Reviews
Insightful, fun
Extremely informative about the state of the streaming economy and entertainment industry more broadly. Julia and Jason always bring something interesting to the table
Not good
Hosts constantly using acronyms I have no idea what they mean. Also always hearing sirens and honking cars in the background which is not great for listening in the car.
Wonderful
Downstream is a must listen, interesting and informative.. I look forward to each episode.
