Music in the Internet Age & the Universal Studios Fire

Published on: 8th October, 2021

Facebook's widespread outage raised an important question - what would happen to many contemporary artists if it all stopped working? What would happen if all of the internet outlets went away? DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray are going to have a chat about it on the show. They are also going to revisit the story of the 2008 Universal Studios fire that destroyed over 120,000 master recordings.
