**PRIVATE RSS** Interdependence 5 - Liz Pelly
🕑 Added 2020-06-03 23:28:45 +0000 UTCIn this episode we speak with the writer Liz Pelly, who over the past 5 years has written a series of revelatory critical pieces about the streaming economy for The Baffler.
We discuss whether the distinction of Independence is all that useful in music at this point in history, take a look at the ways in which the streaming platforms flatter some kinds of music and have flattered to deceive for others, and question what the recent Spotify exclusivity deal with Joe Rogan might mean for musicians.
This is a nice and long conversation, and we had one or two connection issues, so forgive us if you notice one or two jarring edits!
We also attached an imperfect automated transcript on Seb's request :)

cheers Adam - this kindof protocol approach I think has legs and its really compelling to hear people's own ideas about what that might look like
Thanks for this guys. I was especially struck by the idea of coming up with tangible principles/rules, which, even if adopted by big tech, wouldn't become exploitative. Very inspiring, got lots of small ideas! Thank you again.
