Associate Professor Marc C-Scott: Netflix and Data

March 2025 marks an entire decade since Netflix launched in Australia, which shook up how we watch TV and film. For many of us, it is hard to imagine life before bingeing was a thing, but in the background, streaming has been changing more than just our viewing habits.

Guest: Associate Professor Marc C-Scott from Victoria University

Presenter: Warren Andrew
