About this podcast
Cord Optional is a field guide to cutting the cord and not rebuilding cable with four apps and a worse bill. Real setups, real prices, real tradeoffs — antennas, free tiers, cheap stacks, and when paying is actually worth it.
You didn’t cancel cable because you hate TV. You canceled it because the bill started looking like a car payment. This is the show for the messy middle: what to keep, what to kill, and how to watch what you actually want without paying for the rest.
TV on your terms.
