Streaming Movies and Cool New Housing for Old Buildings
Hi all! Thanks for coming back! We've been a long time gone, but we are at it again!
This time, Nora Young talks about the challenges streaming film services have, and this Forbes article about how two niche movie streaming services have managed -- or not -- to make a go of it. Cathi Bond thinks there's a lot to be learned from the cable world in the form of Turner Classic Movies.
Cathi looks at a really cool idea in place in China: dropping small, modernist, smartly designed housing 'inserts' called "Plugin Houses into dilapidated buildings. Check out the story and lots of images at New Atlas. Could this be a model for elsewhere?
Also, super snappy recommendation: this Vox explainer on those iconic Blue Note album covers!
