In the long-awaited (whoopsie!) second part of their Spotify series, the Demagogues explore what can be done to rebalance the music biome. What is this elusive context, and how does the indie artist create it for themselves? What is really happening with "good guy" distributors? What is Spotify doing wrong, and why? And what is the listener's role in this ecosystem? Sally puts on her finest podcast bro regalia and flexes her business nerd muscles (thank you, ketones), while Gabbie grounds the conversation with repartée the people are actually interested in. It is, all in all, their best episode yet...and they have no plans to ever be this good again.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
