The show also features an interview with Joel T. Jordan from Synchtank.Inevitably we open the show by chatting extensively about TIDAL's press conference. Just 4 days after the (in)famous event the tide seems to have turned against the company given the many obvious issues with the service.We also discuss the upcoming Syncsummit London event, the integration of Spotify into the Playstation and what the console market means for music subscriptions and finally Coachella's renewed partnership with YouTube to livestream the festival.The show also incorporates an interview with Joel T.
