Will Ticketmaster face accountability for the 'broken' concert industry? And, The President's Cake
About this episode
A recent case brought forward by the U.S. Department of Justice claims the ‘concert industry is broken’ and that Live Nation and Ticketmaster are to blame. Policy expert Vass Bednar and musician Rollie Pemberton join Elamin Abdelmahmoud to discuss the case, proposed settlement and what this means for the price of your concert tickets.
The President’s Cake, a debut film from Hasan Hadi, takes place in the 1990s in Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s regime. It follows a nine-year-old girl tasked with baking a cake for the dictator's birthday. Film critic Dalia Al-Dujaili talks to Elamin Abdelmahmoud about what makes this film important and its impact on the Iraqi film industry.
