About this listen


In this episode Toby and Dennis discuss the cuts in public television and radio; how they are dis-servicing local Indigenous Media and how Alternative Media is countering Public Media’s Washington Consensus.

Also on the agenda is a conversation about past cultural funding and in particular the Ford Foundation and the continual way the Pentagon finances and dictates film scripts and practices.

We then branch out and discuss media tax breaks and whether they deliver what they promise, Netflix in Spain, what streaming services mean by the global and the local, and Mission Impossible in Australia.
