Can you say 'podcast oligopoly'?

As a musician, I look upon this with great concern. Yes I know this is about podcasts, but to me there's a dire implication as a musician.

Sure, creating and playing music is one thing. But when there are fewer and fewer entities who control where that music goes (and ultimately who and how many can listen), it means they will everything and anything to ensure I have as little input in those areas.

In this regard, they would view me, as a 'content provider' and not a musician. In that sense, it's meant to minimize and reduce anything I - along with any cohorts - down to their level, for their consumption, control, and ultimately their profit.

Fucking Duh. I've been saying ever since it happened that Kurt Cobain didn't kill himself.

Turns out I'm not the only one. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/kurt-cobain-may-have-been-murdered-new-report-claims/ar-AA1W5zoi Ku...
