{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Doctor Who, streaming fatigue, and the future of TV","description":"Christian Cawley and James McLean return to discuss the increasingly uncertain future of television — starting with reports that AMC will become the US streaming home for classic-era Doctor Who.\n\nDoes the AMC deal mean Doctor Who is heading back toward an American co-production model? Or is this simply another distribution agreement being overanalysed by a fandom starved for news?\n\n(We think it might be that one ^^...)\n\nThe conversation expands into a much broader discussion about the current state of television and streaming: collapsing audience attention spans, the “age of suffocation” caused by overwhelming amounts of content, and whether long-form prestige TV can even survive in a world dominated by YouTube, TikTok, gaming, and algorithm-driven viewing habits.\n\nAlong the way, Christian and James discuss:\n\nAMC acquiring US streaming rights to classic-era Doctor Who\n\nWhether Doctor Who could ever become an American production\n\nWhy streaming has created an “age of suffocation” for TV audiences\n\nThe Mandalorian movie and the collapse of “event television”\n\nGaming, YouTube, and the battle for audience attention\n\nWilliam Shatner, AI-generated artwork, and authenticity online\n\nRemembering Blake’s 7 actor Michael Keating\n\nWe also head back into the world of AI, and explore whether AI tools are quietly eroding creative industries, why audiences instinctively reject AI-generated work, and how websites and streaming platforms are increasingly losing their individual identities.\n\nJoin the Kasterborous Archive (https://www.patreon.com/cw/kasterborous) and influence topics for future shows.","author_name":"Kasterborous Classic TV: Exploring Doctor Who & Classic Sci-Fi","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/1495844-kasterborous-classic-tv-exploring-doctor-who-classic-sci-fi","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43660498/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
