About this episode
Myf and Zan are back for 2024, and it's a big bang! A huge week for music too, with a showdown between Univeral Music Group and TikTok raising big questions around what artists are paid, how they appear, and what AI will do to the music in the future.
AI and deepfakes have been in the cycle too, with Taylor Swift and local MP Georgie Purcell. Image based abuse is growing, and often targeted towards women. We unpack everything that went down. In happier news, some big records were smashed and history made in this year's Hottest 100; it was all very padam.
And FARSHUN is busting out of the gates with mob wife, eclectic grandpa, and winklepickers. What are winklepickers? Oh we'll explain. And we're banging on about a great podcast full of pearls of wisdom, and Sofia Coppola's new film Priscilla.
