This week on TellyCast, Justin Crosby sits down with Taf Makopa, founder of Mako Studios and one of the most exciting new forces in digital production. Taf reveals his first slate of four brand-funded shows with BoohooMan — including Are You Even Real?, a dating series hosted by UK rap icon Chip, and Luke Comes Home, a Luke Littler documentary featuring Angry Ginge.

In this candid conversation, Taf unpacks why talent-first formats are the future, how brand-creator partnerships are evolving, and why social video is no longer just “digital TV” - it’s its own creative economy.

Expect honest reflections on leaving Wall of Entertainment, the business of making hit social formats on a budget, and how Mako Studios plans to shake up the industry.
