Episode 17: Music News and Update

This week on the podcast it is just the two us, Michelle and Alex. We sit down together to discuss some breaking, important news from the industry: Spotify and their new royalty model. This could, potentially, be the start of another big shift in music and, although Spotify have been very nonchalant and vague about the whole thing, it could have massive impacts on various levels of the creative industries, including podcasting and audiobooks. We discuss the news in depth, pondering possibilities and you can refer to the articles mentioned below.

We also talk about lighter stuff, such as forgetting about fear and competition since getting to Anglesey and how that benefits us creatively and just in our every day life. Plus our regular segments!
