Episode 246: Under Hipgnosis (w/ special guest Rich Woodall)
This week we're talking about the music industry, and about how there's a scramble for profitable IP among the record labels and various so-called "song funds." Old songs are all the rage now, and as investments they're even more profitable than oil or gold, apparently. We're joined by writer Rich Woodall to help steer us through the complicated, treacherous world of song rights, streaming platforms, and contracts.
