Some dissent in Bill Simmons’ The Ringer publishing and podcast network is airing out publicly.

Sean Fennessey, the head of content for the Ringer and host of the platform’s popular “The Big Picture” podcast, appeared on the podcast “Talk Easy With Sam Fragoso” on Aug. 30 and touched on several topics — including that Ringer shows like “Big Picture” have been licensed by Spotify to Netflix, despite the fact that the podcast’s participants discuss content that might appear on the streamer.
