Music and Material Culture (S4-E26, Joe Steinhardt‪)‬ Pop, the Question

At the intersection of material culture and critical theory is an ever-changing music industry. Just as popular media formats have evolved over the last century, so have marketing strategies and power dynamics to get those media into the hands of audiences around the world.
