The Business With Kim Masters Podcast: The Ultimate Entertainment Industry Insider

There are some industries in business that can be entertaining, dramatic, have sex scandals, and be populated with the most flamboyant, erratic, and often narcissistic people. Nope, I’m not talking about U.S. politics, although Lauren Boebert has definitely elevated the trashiness and sleaze level of the U.S. Congress, with help from Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

It’s the entertainment industry. And one of the best entertainment industry podcasts is KCRW’s The Business with Kim Masters.

To be clear, it’s not a TV review or film review show. Masters, a long-time journalist for The Hollywood Reporter, reports on the TV and film industry itself.

The Business is produced by KCRW, a National Public Radio (NPR) member station that broadcasts from the campus of Santa Monica College. KCRW airs original news and music shows, as well as programming from NPR and other affiliates.

KCRW has been aggressive in the podcast space for several years with an impressive roster of podcasts including Left Right & Center, The Treatment, and To The Point.

The Business podcast was developed by influential and ground-breaking KCRW producer / host Matt Holzman, who passed away at only 56 years old.
