"Raising money off frothy numbers to sugarcoat the rotten apple is
what built this town.” That’s according to Duncan Park, the
protagonist of "The Audacity," a new dark comedy from AMC about
tech CEOs and their relationships with their families, therapists
and enablers. Live from SXSW, Kara spoke with executive producer
and showrunner Jonathan Glatzer ("Succession," "Bad Sisters,"
"Better Call Saul"), star Billy Magnussen, and executive producer
Gina Mingacci ("Killing Eve," "Orphan Black"). The series follows
Duncan, an ambitious, arrogant data-mining CEO determined to join
Silicon Valley’s billionaire elite, and holds up a mirror to the
greed and ego shaping modern tech culture. They discuss how tech’s
obsession with disruption and data has come at the cost of privacy
and real human connection. While "The Audacity" is a sharp satire,
it also finds surprising humanity in even the most unlikable tech
bros — and even made Kara feel empathy for them, despite her best
intentions. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or
