“We are so excited in Season 2 to share more fascinating conversations on topics such as the changing representations on TV of masculinity, immigrants, corporate culture, and women in comedy with the writers and showrunners who are disrupting traditional TV narratives in newly creative ways,” said Peabody Awards executive director Jeffrey Jones in a statement.
Comedian and actor Gabe González (“The Last OG”) hosts the show; Jones and Center for Media & Social Impact executive director Caty Borum also contribute. The first season of the show premiered in April 2024 and included interviews with Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Damon Lindelof (“Watchmen”), Pamela Adlon (“Better Things”) and Ramy Youssef (“Ramy”), among others.
“In our culture, we are shaped dramatically by the images and stories and people we see reflected in high-quality entertainment TV, and this podcast brings us deeper into understanding how these shows are made — and why they matter so much,” Borum said.
“We Disrupt This Broadcast” is distributed by the public media company PRX. It’s available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart, Overcast and other major podcast platforms.
