It’s Episode 94! This week's episode has a theme that I didn't totally plan but I love: Authenticity. We've got a story about a company that got caught running fake fan networks for major artists, a fascinating look at how music actually lands on Netflix and what that means for indie artists, a marketing tip about humanizing your brand, some music history, indie tracks from Boston, Atlanta, and Central Massachusetts, and some genuinely wonderful good news science story to close things out. Tune in!
