Listen "WAS QUIBI RIGHT?"
Episode Synopsis
In Episode 103, SIMPLE ALIEN DEEP DIVES reexamines the rise and fall of Quibi, the short-form streaming service. Doug and Stacey explore whether Quibi’s vision—high-quality, mobile-first content delivered in bite-sized episodes—was ahead of its time or simply a misguided gamble. They discuss TV’s evolution, from traditional sitcoms to modern streaming, and argue that Quibi may have misread audience habits during the pandemic. Ultimately, they ponder whether a rebooted Quibi could succeed by adapting its approach with flexible formats, stronger storytelling, and more viewer engagement.
