Episode notes
Clip Farms Mirror Payola But Rely On Algorithmic Reach
- Chris and Jason frame modern music clip farms as a form of payola that is legal but morally gray, driven by algorithms rather than radio gatekeepers.
- They note the internet can amplify good songs but can't manufacture something completely without merit.
Not Tech Savvy So She Hired An Engineer
- Monica admits she isn't tech-savvy and immediately brought in an audio engineer when they started the podcast.
- She leaned into producing and editing rather than learning deep technical audio work herself.
Monica's Exact Martini Order
- Monica graduated from Jagerbombs to martinis: lemon twist, no vermouth, bruised (shaken very icy) and sometimes with ice shards.
- She prefers a very dry Hendrix martini strained with a small shard of ice on top.
