Simon Crownshaw: The media and entertainment industry has changed a lot, even in the past five years.  

Andy Beach: [laughs] You're absolutely right.  

Simon: And between my colleague Andy Beach, and me, Simon Crownhaw, we learn so much every day from the conversations we're having at the intersection of media and technology. And as leaders in Microsoft's Media and Entertainment practice, we want to share those conversations with you, our listeners. 

Andy Beach: Absolutely. We really are seeing more technology disruption now than ever before. 

Simon: Right! And those media companies, ad agencies, and even sports leagues, to some degree, are relying on the cloud and artificial intelligence more and more. And they're doing everything from improving workflows to building out things like the metaverse. 

Andy: [Laughs] "Metaverse," whatever that means. Data, cloud, gaming, audience insights — it's all part of our new podcast, Media in Minutes with Simon and Andy.  

Simon: We'll spend each episode talking with leaders from across the industry. And with each episode, you'll better understand the insight that drives our everyday conversations. 

Andy: Media in Minutes with Simon and Andy. Available soon on the podcast platform of your choice. Don't miss it.
