Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“They can’t keep doing this forever:” Tokyo Police Club's Graham Wright on the dire state of music

“They can’t keep doing this forever:” Tokyo Police Club's Graham Wright on the dire state of music
Q: What's your take on Kid Rock?
Wright believes Kid Rock embodies a flawed yet noteworthy perspective, acknowledging that while he disagrees with him on many issues, Kid Rock is correct about the monopolistic practices of Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
The Canadian SHIELD Institute: A rad, not radical think tank
Q: How do you build these giant sovereign projects, especially in the digital space, without relying on the existing oligopolies?
We need to be cautious if we're going all in on one particular company, as it can be fantastic for building a national champion, but governance mechanisms must be in place.
The Canadian SHIELD Institute: A rad, not radical think tank
Q: Do you see this as a continuation of what you were doing in the competition space, or is this something significantly different?
I would say it's an extension, right? So broader market regulation. How does the economy work?
The Canadian SHIELD Institute: A rad, not radical think tank
Q: What attracted you to this gig?
I was having so much fun and was so lucky to be able to do independent research and commentary and build that voice.
