-
#93: Destroy the Internet
Are music shops worth saving? Are subscription deals letting people down? Why are there no new synths to talk about? All these questions are half-answered in this slow-news episode. SHOW NOTES AND LINKS https://www.a4ppodcast.com SUPPORT US VIA PLUGIN BOUTIQUE AFFILIATE LINK...
