Welcome to EP 54! Today, we go over everyone’s favorite topic at this time of year - Spotify Wrapped 2021. We share our top songs, top artists, and all the fun details that Wrapped gives us. Although it’s fun, Spotify - as noted heavily in this show’s programming - is not kind to artists and creatives that use their platform. As such, we give a very fine suggestion for Spotify to use in order to improve those artist relationships and benefit all parties involved. Thank you for listening!
Welcome to episode 53! Today, we finally get back to an episode after a brief Thanksgiving break. We talk about the tragic events that occurred at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival - recapping the events, diving into the details, and sharing a message to keep each other safe at live events. It was tough to see and read about the terrible things that happened at Astroworld. At huge events, it’s important to look out for one another so everyone leaves safely and having had a good time. On the flip side, it’s even more important for event organizers and people in power to create a safe environment, and if things get out of hand, have the resources to act quickly in the name of safety. Stay safe.
