While the book does showcase the whole Eisner vs Disney story, it goes well beyond that and gives a look behind the entertainment industry as a whole. It’s amazing to learn how connected the various studios and their executives really are. In particular I enjoyed learning about shows that Eisner passed on which became hits on other networks, shows such as Survivor and CSI.
From back room corporate dealings and Jeffery Katzenburg its all in there.

Another interesting (yet not surprising) thing is the number of people that were given promotions to top positions within devisions such as ABC. Interesting because I see that in the company I work for all the time. Promotions that aren’t really promotions. They are just a way to raise an individuals salary. Often those people are advancing because of the hard word done by those working under them. Is this just the corporate way? Well this could turn into a rant so I’ll stop here.

I think you cats are carving your own niche here. I remember when AATM launched and was airing shows on original topics. I was pleased a Disney themed podcast could still be original. And that still holds true today. You also have been putting up original show topics. Thanks for that.

I’ll be listening,

Great show as always!
