Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos acknowledged that second seasons of the streamer’s shows tend to draw less well than debut seasons. But, he said, it’s not as bad as a recently prevalent narrative would make it seem. The streamer also touted some early results from the addition of video podcasts to the platform in its quarterly earnings report — but declined to divulge any specific numbers in a large-scale data release for the first half of the year. The season two problem narrative was sparked by a recent Bloomberg story detailing steep viewing declines for several shows in their second seasons, among them Beef, The Four Seasons and One Piece. Sarandos didn’t dispute those findings — which came from Netflix’s own publicly released weekly top 10 lists — but said that “in aggregate, we’re not seeing any material change in our second season viewing compared to season ones. Our second seasons are performing well within our bands of expectation.” Sarandos also said that viewing declines for the second season of a show are “very common” across the industry and …
Inspired by the billion-download The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) phenomenon, the new daily video podcast helps families explore the Bible together beginning January 1, 2027. EXTON, Pa. — After The Bible in a Year (with Fr.

In order for stars to form, you need the right ingredients to make it happen: gravity, mass, time, and of course the right type of matter in the form of baryons. Shortly after the Big Bang, the Universe had plenty of them, but they were all very simple: protons, deuterons, helium-3 and helium-4 nuclei, and a tiny bit of lithium-7. These nuclei, made out of protons and neutrons, were all that the Universe gave us to work with prior to the formation of stars. But, in clumps of material small and large, from individual star clusters to enormous galaxy cluster scales and everything in between, these baryons went to work and, across the Universe over the past 13.8 billion years, created sextillions of stars within the observable Universe. In a very real way, the story of how we ourselves came to be is the story of how baryons evolved, matured, and wound up deducing our own cosmic history. Yet so many mysteries about that process still remain, from the baryon life cycles within galaxies to …
On one occasion, a council officer “inadvertently” used the council card to pay £90 for their haircut. The council said: “At the time, both cards were very similar in appearance and colour, and they mistakenly selected the wrong card when making the payment. The cardholder has repaid the £90.00 to the Council.” Source link

Like the hosts of other “hang podcasts”—think Jake Shane’s Therapuss or Good Hang with Amy Poehler—Sprouse is under no illusions that he is a journalist. He’s also not trying to interrogate his guests. “I don’t listen to the kind of devastating, hard-hitting podcasts,” he says. He and Palvin are, however, fans of Lore, the critically acclaimed podcast created by Aaron Mahnke. “I really like cryptid stuff and xenobiology, or whatever it’s called.” He waits a beat. “Cryptozoology.” With Wildmen, Sprouse wants to create a comfortable, laid-back environment and meet his guests wherever they are. Listeners can look forward to hearing from Hollywood guests including but not limited to KJ Apa, Camila Mendes, Bazzi, Harry Jowsey, and JoJo Siwa. “What I do want to emphasize is that though we can tend to seem, like, bro-y, we are genuine friends with everybody,” says Sprouse, sounding sincere. “We get told so often how divided we all are as people and really when boots are on the ground, I don’t think that’s the case. I think everybody’s really friendly …

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump joined second lady Usha Vance on her podcast where guests read picture books to children, but Trump, who is notorious for veering off script, offered a running commentary on his predecessors, his physique, and how he’s spending his time in the White House. In Trump’s appearance on Vance’s “Storytime with the Second Lady,” podcast, which was posted online Friday, the president read “Presidents Play!” a children’s book from the White House Historical Association that features illustrations of the presidents enjoying sports and using the White House and its grounds for recreation. Trump pretaped the appearance in mid-June in the White House’s Oval Office, where the abundant gold accents he added were supplemented for the occasion with a bald eagle stuffed animal, tables made up of stacks of oversized books and a globe made out of Legos. When Vance asked Trump if he has much time to read for fun while serving as president, he replied that he ends up mostly reading newspapers. “I usually read stories about myself,” Trump …
