Introducing the Lions v Tigers podcast!

Recorded on the eve of Taylor Swift’s sixth album Reputation, Gaz and Kit talk about money and the media. Topics include:

• Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Moby, and Ed Sheeran
• The shift in how musicians make money in a post-streaming world
• How economics affect power dynamics – not just in the music industry, but also in TV and Hollywood
• How Harvey Weinstein’s downfall is linked to these changing power dynamics
• The economic model of media such as The New York Times and Netflix and how models that are more subscription-focused are often better aligned with consumer outcomes
• Techniques for reducing the influence of Facebook on your life – deleting the Facebook app from your phone, and using FB Purity
• Chaos Monkeys – Antonio Garcia Martinez’s entertaining expose on the inner workings of Facebook
• New economic models for content creators such as patronage (eg through Patreon) and membership/subscriptions
• The fact that if you’re not paying for the service, you’re probably the product!
