Decentralised Music: Will Podcasting 2.0 Revolutionise The Music Industry?

It's a special solo episode today that also became a DJ set of decentralised music! In Episode #306 of 'Musings' I discuss: why I'm podcasting alone today, how Podcasting 2.0 infrastructure and technology can help make the music industry better, why middlemen suck and peer to peer payments solve this, a real time example of supporting my favourite artists, potential arguments on why this won't work (hint, it already does work) and a list of musicians already on the bandwagon. A big thanks to Petar, Dave Jones & Brando Sellers for supporting the podcast, bloody legends! As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
