News on season two - or, life is funny, isn't it?

20 April 2022
2nd season, second season, update

After much ado, we're in planning mode for our second season. Just gonna roll up these sleeves...

Even though we saw almost 10,000 downloads, we're going to do things a little differently for this go-around number two. Dropping episodes weekly was more effort than we had thought it would be 😅 so we'll release episodes every couple of weeks. We're looking to chat again with Dr. Peter Chin Hong — PCH — from UCSF among others. Potential topics could include Ukraine-Russia, wine making, solar panels, life after death, Bigfoot, long haul truck drivers, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and nonfungible tokens.

Thank you for your continued support. Look for the new episodes to begin dropping a few weeks from now.

Please be safe. And we'll talk again in a few months.

Inside the Dirty Business of Hit Songwriting

apple, music business, piper payne, royalties, spotify

Ahead of our episode tomorrow with Piper Payne, where we talk all sorts of topics including artists' royalties, we wanted to highlight something with Apple Music announcing that they pay double what Spotify and other services do — for the songs we love and whose artist's work we want to support. It's eye opening, for sure.
