There is a new format today. We’ve added three recurring segments – Rock Paper Scanner, Startup Sessions, and Strategies Techniques & Hacks with a Publicist. Plus, our regular long(er) interview with an innovator in the music tech space. It’s an abundance of content from a variety of thinkers and do-ers. 

Dmitri and Tristra discuss Spotify's $10 billion payout, the rise of ethical AI solutions, and bids to purchase TikTok. Dmitri's interview with Jeremy Sirota, CEO of Merlin, touches on their efforts to support independent music through strategic partnerships and innovative thinking amidst industry consolidation. We hear from the startup Incantio, and also learn a strategic tip when reaching out to journalists for PR.
