#149: How to Make a Living as a Musician with Jason Ager (Part 2)

This is part 2 of our discussion with Jason Ager. This time, Steve and Jason discuss the business of making a living as a musician and how technology has changed and continues to change the game. Learn about the importance of and increasing scarcity of quality human curation for small artists, how phone culture has changed the live music experience, possible ways to use AR/VR to monetize performances, how Jason uses "pay as you wish" to sell CDs and get a useful market signal, and learn how one artist made a request show both more fun and more profitable by encouraging a bidding war for song selection. This is a fantastic episode you won't want to miss.

#147: AI, AR, & The Future of Dance Performance

We discuss various ways cutting edge dance performances are now or could be in the future using AI and AR to create unique experiences. From AI dance partners, to immersive 3D video expanding the potential audience for performances, to the use of 3D virtual structures and sets and even bringing a new level of virtual dance instruction, these technologies are poised to reshape this otherwise primarily analog art form.

#145: UArts Closing & The Higher Ed Crisis

We discuss the abrupt closing of Chrissie's alma mater, UArts, and whether it is indicative of a trend in higher education. Are "art" degrees (or most degrees) just useless anyway? Did Covid screw everything up for universities? Have schools invested too much in getting "fancy"? Plus, Chrissie discovers that Walmart has cheap prices, we have a few technical difficulties, and end on a hopeful note that maybe Temple will save the day in the end.
