The Illusions of Love and Heartbreak

Liz Pelly's book Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist has been received as an evisceration of the streaming platform and the way it has fundamentally changed the business model of music (to its own advantage) over the past fifteen years. Liz joins Andy to talk through her investigation and look at the future of music listening. 

And we remember American jazz singer Sheila Jordan who died this week at 96, and Australian jazz pianist and composer Judy Bailey who died last week at 89. We'll hear delightful snippets from their interview appearances on The Music Show about discovering jazz as children, choosing repertoire, and teaching the next generations.
