Pop Culture: The Streaming Wars, Taylor Swift's Latest Feud and 'City On A Hill'

The Obamas kick off their first production with Netflix, and the streaming giant signs Beyoncé to a $60 million deal. But some predict streaming services may soon be out of reach for customers because of the cable like fees. Country pop star Taylor Swift’s celebrity pals come to her defense in her feud with big-time star manager Scooter Braun, while others say “You Need To Calm Down.” And an unlikely partnership takes on 1990’s Boston’s corrupt and racist criminal justice system in the new Showtime series, ‘City on a Hill.'

Guests:
