Music and politics don't always mix. Three well-known music stars - Pharrell, Rihanna and Guns & Roses’ Axl Rose - have objected to their songs recently used by President Trump in rallies ahead of the midterm elections. A cease and desist order has been sent to The White House by Rihanna’s lawyer. Politicians often use popular music as a way to connect to the public, but do the campaigns have the right to use music without the consent of artists and do the artists have any legal recourse? To dive into this question, host Dan Loney talks with Marc Ostrow, a copyright entertainment and music lawyer and Adjunct Professor with Yeshiva University’s Cardozo School of Law, and Michael Carroll, Law Professor and Program Director of the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at American University’s Washington College of Law on Knowledge@Wharton.  Hosted on Acast.

Google is changing its sexual harassment policies a week after around 20 thousand worldwide employees staged a walkout. The mass protest followed a New York Times story saying former senior executive, Andy Rubin, left the company with a $90 million exit package after harassment claims against him were found to be credible. Among the changes, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai sent a letter out saying that arbitration in these instances would no longer be mandatory as there would be more transparency in how these complaints are handled, and those who report these issues would get more support. But does all this go far enough to address employee concerns? With more on the impact of this decision, Host Dan Loney talks with Stephanie Creary, Assistant Professor in the Management Department at the Wharton School, and Harley Shaiken, a labor expert and Emeritus Professor at the University of California Berkeley's Graduate School of Education, on Knowledge@Wharton.

Tesla has named the replacement for Elon Musk: Robyn Denholm, who has been on the board since 2014, will be the new Chairman of the Board for the automotive and energy company.

Under the deal, he is allowed to stay on as CEO. Host Dan Loney talks more about how this announcement will affect Tesla with Michael Cusamano, Distinguished Professor of Management at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, and Timothy Hubbard, Associate Professor of Management at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business on Knowledge@Wharton.
