It’s Episode 93! This episode has a theme running through it whether I planned it that way or not. AI is everywhere, it's causing real damage to real people, and the industry is starting to fight back. We've got a story about an artist defamation suit that genuinely made my jaw drop, some big moves from Spotify, a wild statistic about how many new podcasts are actually fake, and a science story about sound that took me completely by surprise. Plus your weekly marketing tip, music history, and some great indie tracks. Tap play!
