#19- Phoebe Bridgers Starts a Record Label, Sony Sues Musicians, Live Streams in Demand

Our first ever guest episode with long time friend and indie musician, Drumming Bird A.K.A Austin Sawyer! Colin and Joe talk with Drumming Bird about the ups and downs of being an independent artist with concert livestreams and other revenue sources for artists! The word of this podcast is “Diversify” and the word “Yessirskii” is fighting to be copyrighted by 21 Savage. Find out why both words matter in our first guest episode!

*Correction: The BBC had a ban on any form of product advertising in songs to be played over their broadcasts so that is why the Kink’s Lola had to change the line to “Cherry Cola”*
