Episode 19 – Music Survey Results, Elon Musk and Foxconn, Overcast and iOS Business Models

Our Question of the Week this week concerns Elon Musk's recent comments on Apple's car efforts. In an interview with a German newspaper, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said (among other things), "You can't just go to a supplier like Foxconn and say: Build me a car." Our Question of the Week is to what extent Elon Musk's comment was justified. Around that middle topic, we have two others: we kick of the episode with a review of some of the findings of Jan's recent music consumption surveys and what they tell us about Apple Music usage and subscribership. And our third and final topic is Marco Arment's new Overcast app and its unique patronage-based business model, the controversy it's caused, and what it says about the state of the iOS app market. And we wrap up, as always, with our Weekly Pick.
