A thoughtful, economics-minded take on music and the business behind it. Episodes frequently dissect streaming dynamics, platform power, artist compensation, and the politics of culture, pairing rigorous analysis with historical context and timely headlines. Regular guests and recurring debates explore how capitalism shapes creativity, technology, and policy, from antitrust and licensing to AI and copyright, while keeping a clear eye on the lived experiences of artists and fans.
