Episode 54 - There's *SOME* Ethical Consumption in Capitalism feat Alexa Speed

We're joined this week by Alexa Speed, the person behind Cut Off The Spigot to discuss the major players in the streaming wars and how you can be a more ethical consumer of digital media. This is a great conversation for someone who's struggling with finding a way to escape the stranglehold these gigantic companies seem to have on our wallets. Find Alexa's work here: https://cutoffthespigot.substack.com/ Music featured in this episode: My Leather, My Fur, My Nails by Stepdad Glide by JD & the Straight Shot Freedom of Choice by DEVO CORRECTION: There is a point in this conversation when AMC is being discussed and BritBox is named as one of their subsidiaries.
