Oscars 2015: The business behind the glitz and glamour

You’d never know it judging by the glitz and the glamour, but for every little gold statue handed out during the Oscars, there’s all kinds of chaos that goes on beforehand.  There’s lobbying, marketing and lots and lots of money involved.

Marketplace’s Kai Ryssdal chatted with Kyle Buchanan about the new podcast.
