Steven Hammer was once a literary star. Now, his career is floundering, his marriage to a high-powered woman is crumbling, and the only bright spot in his life is Astrid, the Norwegian au pair who cares for their children—and reveres his neglected novels. But what begins as a secret infatuation soon spirals into a scandal that makes them both infamous. With inexorable momentum and sly, lucid prose, Teddy Wayne’s The Au Pair is a sleek literary thriller about desire, deception, and the unraveling of a man as he grapples with his fading relevance—when the lies others spin pale beside the fictions we tell ourselves

For more, Carol Massar Tim Stenovec speak with Teddy Wayne, Author of 'The Au Pair'

Comcast Corp. plans to spin off NBCUniversal and Sky, unwinding a strategy that began more than a decade ago after struggling to demonstrate that a cable and media conglomerate would benefit shareholders.

A new company, NBCUniversal, will hold the theme parks division, Universal film and television studios, the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, Peacock streaming service, and Bravo cable channel as well as the European media business, Sky. Comcast will hold the company’s original cable-TV, broadband and wireless businesses.

The deal, which came as a surprise to many investors, nevertheless reflects a trend as the media industry grapples with declining cable viewership.
Separating the two businesses is “the only way to unlock value,” Vikash Harlalka, an analyst at New Street Research, said. The move is a precursor for allowing Comcast to focus on mergers and acquisitions in both the cable and media sectors once the separation is complete, Harlalka said.

On this episode, Carol Massar Tim Stenovec speak with:
Chris Palmeri, Bloomberg News Senior Editor and Entertainment Team Leader
James Seyffart, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Research Analyst on SpaceX ETF Frenzy Leads to Fund’s Trading Halt After 89% Surge / Leverage That Fueled US Stock Rally Becomes a Growing Concern
Cynthia Chen, CEO, Kikoff on state of American consumer, credit card debt and Kikoff's credit building platform
Former. Gov. Eric Holcomb (R-IN) and Co-Founder of RAISE US
