CMU Podcast: Live goes live – hear it now
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 27 June 2014
As pan-European indie label trade body IMPALA confirms it has filed a complaint with the European Commission over YouTube’s negotiating tactics for its new audio streaming service, you can now download the very first edition of the CMU Podcast: Live, with the whole YouTube licensing debacle the lead topic for debate between our panel this month.
Recorded in front of a live studio audience at the Roundhouse in London on Tuesday, CMU Editor Andy Malt leads the discussion with Music Managers Forum CEO Jon Webster, Cooking Vinyl’s Head Of Digital Marketing Sammy Andrews, co-founder of playlist creation service Songdrop Brittney Bean, and CMU Business Editor Chris Cooke.
Other topics on the first edition of the all-new CMU Podcast, presented in association with Roundhouse Rising, include the introduction of streaming data into the UK singles chart, the BBC’s almost simultaneous announcements of cuts to Radio 1 and a big new music awards show, and One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson’s crowdfunding campaign to fund the running of Doncaster Rovers, the football team he has just bought.
Says Malt: “What’s great about the new CMU Podcast is that it enables us to put together a great panel of leading music business experts and then get them to discuss the very latest developments in the industry. This month was a very lively and entertaining debate, offering insights and opinions on a number of key issues, not least the indie labels’ dispute with YouTube”.
You can check out the 30 minute podcast below or download the file here. To receive future podcasts directly, you can also sign up to one of our feeds, on iTunes or via RSS.
The audience at Tuesday’s recording also got to hear our panel discuss extra topics, including the launch of the Amazon Prime music service and the Beastie Boys’ recent ad-sync litigation, plus they had the chance to join in the debate and ask the panellists questions. The next podcast recording takes place at the Roundhouse on Tuesday 29 Jul – look out for full line up info as tickets go on sale next week.
