We have shared three new podcasts since our last newsletter:
Songwriters + Global Digital Streaming: At MusicBiz in Nashville in May 2018, Joe Conyers from Songtrust and Downtown Music Publishing shared his thoughts and experiences about a wide variety of international and domestic songwriter royalty, rights, markets, and metadata issues. Website link
Playlists: A Revolution for Artists: Andrea Young from Koral Young sees playlisting as a revolution for artists. She shared a lot of basics of how to engage with both your fans and playlisters to create a thoughtful playlisting strategy for artists at different stages of their careers. Website link
Music 3.0: Today's podcast is with Vickie Nauman from CrossBorderWorks, along with Andrea Young from Koral Young. In May, Vickie had written an article for Rethink Music called "Coexisting Music Ecosystems," about Music 3.0. Music 1.0 in this discussion was music sold as physical goods and Music 2.0 was the world of digital music. Vickie spoke about how the Music 2.0 world “bent” the existing ecosystems and infrastructures, trying to make them work for a downloading and early streaming world. Music 3.0 is needing new pipes and systems, and is not just direct-to-fan options. It is rebuilding assumptions on how we market, finance, and create music.

Here are a few of our favorites:
Music Industry Worldwide -- Out of the UK, this newsletter continues to be one of our favorites in covering the many changes happening in the music industry globally.
Water and Music -- we are fans of Cheri Hu's newsletter, which captures intriguing articles and trends, plus her own reporting found in Billboard, Forbes, and Medium
