Jottings of note:

 

Disruptive Launch

We Disrupt This Broadcast is a new podcast starting this month from the Peabody Awards in partnership with the Center for Media & Social Impact, and distributed by PRX. It’s monthly, which is unusual. The show features intimate interviews with award-winning television creatives — “medium-defining industry showrunners and writers,” we are told) shaping the future of entertainment with new narratives and creative approaches. The monthly show is hosted by Gabe González (comedian, writer and actor). A trailer and two episodes have dropped, HERE.
