Should Radio Be Paying Bands Royalties? Plus, The Wildest Confession EVER! (Audio)

from The Seth Williams Show · host The CMS Network

“I took a ham out of the kitchen refrigerator and I cut a little hole in it and I fucked this ham.” Wait till you hear WHY they said it and what OTHER food items were involved in their “food fucker” past. 🍆🍖Seth Williams and Chris Akin dive deep into the Gene Simmons controversy, discussing the outrage that Kiss’s wealthy frontman is demanding radio stations pay bands royalties for playing their music, unlike streaming services like Spotify. Chris, a veteran of rock radio for over a decade, gives his take on why radio airplay has always been about exposure for bands, not payment, contrasting it with the shady deals record company execs made with streaming platforms. Plus, get the shocking details about the Dave Mustaine interview where Chris admitted to using Napster, and find out which major news story had the crew in stitches at the end of the show.Tired of ads?
