By Demetri Ravanos Verified| Barrett Media Verified - Advertisement -If you ever needed proof that the Walt Disney Company of 2025 isn’t the one that Walt envisioned when he started drawing a little cartoon mouse, look no further than Pat McAfee. Forget fitting the family friendly image the company cultivated for decades. The guy lives for conflict and is downright adversarial to anyone he perceives as not being on his side. Maybe it plays for his audience of 20 and 30 somethings, but at 43, I kind of find it exhausting.
By Demetri Ravanos Verified| Barrett Media Verified - Advertisement -Is a radio signal as valuable as your largest social media platforms in 2025? I mean, sure, finding your frequency on the dial requires a listener to know way less about you than finding your videos on YouTube or TikTok. Maybe the respective algorithms will feed them to that audience eventually, but it is going to take a lot of training and previous actions to teach the algorithm that they like the kind of topics you cover.
By Demetri Ravanos Verified| Barrett Media Verified - Advertisement -Everything on ESPN is the WWE now, and that sucks. It’s not that I dislike professional wrestling. It’s been years since I have watched. Like, the last time I could honestly call myself a wrestling fan there was no AEW, TNA, or NXT. Hell, I’m pretty sure we were still calling it the WWF. I recognize a compelling product and story when I see it though. Why does professional wrestling work? Maybe you think it’s in the writing.
