It's Episode 99! This week Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey just introduced legislation to cap ticket resale prices and it's named after a Noah Kahan album. Sony just filed a brand new lawsuit against AI music generator Udio, and this time we're talking 30,000 songs and $4.5 billion in potential damages. TikTok is testing a deepfake detection tool and it involves scanning your face. Plus I have a very special debut single preview from Vermont artist Shaely O'Dou that I think you are going to love, your marketing tip, music history, and indie tracks from Boston, Vermont, and Missouri! Let's get into it!
