Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The calculated child: The emotional-economic logics of parenting
Q: How do platforms and digital tools influence parental decision-making and perceived 'solutions' for children?
Joe outlines how autoethnographic data from his own experience shows searches evolve from generic child-not-eating concerns to specialized domains like pediatric nutrition, with platforms steering both information and expectations, creating a co-constructed, data-driven path to care.
Platinum tickets and secret concerts: how platforms rewired live music
Q: What is the broader implication for the live music ecosystem?
Both guests suggest that platform narratives—exposure, development, and brand value—drive investment and market expectations, potentially prioritizing platform growth over equitable pay for artists.
Platinum tickets and secret concerts: how platforms rewired live music
Q: How do Sofar Sounds' fees reframe the artist's role and revenue?
Loïc outlines the distinction between appointment fees (covering artist costs) and co-production fees (artist as co-producer), arguing that Sofar positions itself as a service provider enabling exposure, which in turn affects compensation and career development.
Platinum tickets and secret concerts: how platforms rewired live music
Q: What inspired the focus on dynamic pricing and platformization in live music?
Victor explains that observing how tickets are priced and sold across countries revealed how platforms shape access and perception of value, turning tickets into market devices rather than mere entry passes.
When the planet hits the balance sheet
Q: What is climate risk in contrast to climate change, and how does finance engage with it?
Climate risk refers to the financial risk of climate change, including stranded assets and the impact of policy shifts, and finance uses this framing to guide investments and manage uncertainty.
