Why Youtube star MrBeast is taking over Australia

You might not have heard of MrBeast, but chances are the Gen Z’er you share a house, office or gym with has.

The 26-year-old content creator from Wichita, Kansas has amassed hundreds of millions of followers and is the most- subscribed-to page on YouTube.

He’s best known for putting on his own version of Squid Game – before Netflix did – and sharing hundreds of thousands of dollars in random giveaways.

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by Justin Hill, entertainment guru and host of The Streaming Service podcast on LiSTNR, to find out who MrBeast is, and why he’s having such a massive global impact.
