Episode Details

Well well... What a docket we have this week. We are beginning with the FBI's involvement with Streaming fraud racketeering on the likes of Spotify. The insanity of the numbers here is a feast for incredulity. The independent musicians lifeline - merch is under threat once again from the price hikes of international shipping and the closure of Kunaki's international operation. As a label though we are soldiering on. There is an absolute TONNE of news in the community including the winner announcement of our giveaway AND news on our new show and an exciting release that you can get involved in. Help Support the Channel: Audionautic is a crowd funded network of independent musicians coming together to discuss the latest in gear news, music marketing and create a positive space on the internet to share music, get feedback and learn together.
