QFD Episode 50: The Gen X Problem

What happens when a good idea is milked dry and repurposed? As a creative or a corporation, can you risk alienating the original audience in favor of changing the thing they love, while still needing their money to remain successful? An exploration of Storyforms, infinite remakes and sequels, bad actors, propaganda, and much more. (I had some tech difficulties on this one...so I apologize if you experience audio artifacts) Ft. The FAT RAT's Monody featuring Laura Brehm
