How Reddit Turned HBO’s Industry Into Appointment TV

Candice Lim is joined by Slate producer Madeline Ducharme to break
down the third season of HBO’s Industry. Created by Mickey Down and
Konrad Kay, the show stars Myha’la, Marisa Abela, and Harry Lawtey
as three young finance workers obsessed with getting ahead. The
show has not always been a ratings hit, but this season brought in
record viewership, leading some to wonder how it became an HBO
juggernaut. On today’s episode, ICYMI tries to figure out how the
internet turned Industry into a Sunday primetime event and whether
Reddit is the reason it got renewed.  This podcast is produced
by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, and Candice Lim with
production assistance from Kevin Bendis and Kat Hong. Learn more
