  • The Power Struggle: AI, Ticket Gouging, and the Future of Country Music
    2026/02/16
    In this solo episode, host Tiffany dives into the shifting power dynamics of the 2026 music industry. From Spotify’s new stance on AI impersonation and a $3 billion lawsuit against AI company Anthropic to the government's intervention in concert ticket pricing via California’s "Fans First Act," Tiffany breaks down what these headlines mean for the survival of songwriters. Tiffany also celebrates Ella Langley’s historic chart-topping success and tackles the persistent gender gap in country radio, questioning why female airplay has plummeted from 29% in 2000 to just 8.4% today. Plus, we explore why the 90s country resurgence is about more than just nostalgia—it's a course correction for the genre.
