#50- Spotify Favoring Podcasts, Pollution with the Music Industry, and AWAL Sony Merger

By iHeartPodcasts

The boys examine gatekeeping and the lack thereof in some cases in Music. Spotify is keeping tools away from musicians but not podcasters. Does Spotify think that podcasts have more financial value? While many tours across the world are actively introducing pollution and e-waste, some bands are finally taking a stand against the effects of touring on the environment. Artist Without a Label also now has a label in one of the big three but the UK might try to stop it. All this, working a show in the pandemic and more on The Biztape.
