On this episode of The A Show; Justin and Meelz talk about a changing tide in social media, and how WWE is currently failing to rise to the occasion to meet it. They also talk about early 2000's MTV, before talking about WWE's Netflix debut date and the surprises that could happen as well as a preview of AEW Full Gear...and why the TV hasn't built to it well. 

Survivor Series has once again become one of the biggest yearly PLE's in WWE since the War Games match has been added to the event. But this year feels a little different. Lack of build outside of the Bloodline, outside of Randy Orton/Kevin Owens, and a non-existent story for the rumored Women's War Games. Has Triple H botched the Men's War Games match taking it from a 4 vs 4 match a 5 on 5? And, has Triple H botched the Women's War Games match with lazy creative just to simply say that the women have one as well? @JDfromNY and @TheSolomonster discuss the latest developments with 3 weeks left to go until Survivor Series. Also, we will discuss Malakai Black and his potential exit from AEW after fans speculated we have seen the last of him in the company. WWE releases Indi Hartwell, Baron Corbin, and Tegan Nox. Netflix open to airing LIVE WWE Raw shows overseas here in the states. Netflix also is making demands on who they want on Monday Night. WWE creates a new Women's United States Championship, and who the best fit for that title is. WWE steps on AEW's toes in the UK, as AEW can't announce Forbidden Door tickets or venue because of WWE's international presence, and Dave Meltzer has a very bad week, as he completely shows how insensitive he is towards Dutch Mantell, as he and his family are dealing with major medical issues. 🥃 Become a Channel Member & Join the Off The Script VIP Club: https://www.youtube.com/c/JDfromNY206/joinSubscribe:▶️ http://www.youtube.com/@JDfromNY▶️ http://www.youtube.com/@jdfromnyshorts▶️ http://www.youtube.com/@TheSolomonster Socials:🐤 Twitter: https://twitter.com/jdfromny206🐤 Twitter: http://twitter.com/solomonster★Tuesday Night Titans on ALL Major Audio Platforms!Apple Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/3r53nycvSpotify Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/yt8k63t2★Tuesday Night Titans Merchandise♦ Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/tuesday-night-titans/#Wrestling #WrestlingNews #WWESupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/off-the-script-w-jdfromny/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On June 5th, armed men attacked worshipers at a Catholic Church in the city of Owo, Nigeria. Scores of people were reportedly killed and many more injured. My guest today,  Idayat Hassan, is director of the Center for Democracy and Development in Nigeria. We kick off discussing this church attack as well as another high profile recent attack on a train in northern Nigeria. Idayat Hassan then describes how these attacks fit into broader patterns of insecurity in Nigeria.   The increasing insecurity in parts of Nigeria today comes less than a year ahead of major national presidential elections scheduled in February 2023. But as Idayat Hassan explains the candidates are not emphasizing getting to the root cause of insecurity -- which she forcefully argues stems from a broken judicial system.

Air Date 5/15/2020 Today, Amanda and I discuss the new film Executive Produced by Michael Moore, Planet of the Humans. We try to hit as many topics as we can but do not claim this is an exhaustive list of problems with the film. In short, the film tries to make a few good points but they are completely drowned in a sea of misinformation potent enough to send climate deniers into a joyous tizzy. Be part of the show!

Why the hybrid model makes sense for authors and publishers, with guest Brooke Warner Brooke Warner, publisher of She Writes Press and SparkPress, talks about independent publishing and how the hybrid model is helping authors thrive by creating opportunity and diversifying the marketplace. Highlights include: What is hybrid publishing? What is the hybrid business model? Who pays, and what does it cost? What benefits does hybrid give the author? The publisher? How hybrid democratizes the list: all books get attention, not just the “lead titles” What points do authors need to pay attention to in hybrid contracts? Why do hybrid publishers still meet resistance from some reviewers, contests, and associations? What’s the future of indie publishing? (Hint: it’s bright!)
