Why Do Gigs Cost So Much?

Goalhanger
About this episode

The American Department of Justice are seeking to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation to try and make gigs cheaper. How did Ticketmaster gain such a grip on the music industry, and if the DOJ are successful what could it mean for live music in the UK?


Loaded magazine is back... Richard and Marina trace it's history and that of 'lad mags'. Is there a bloodline to today's toxic masculinity?


Finally, we have our hands on the second viewing data dump from Netflix and it has sparked a possible billion-dollar idea from Richard!
