Hey guys and welcome to another episode of Tanvir Talks! Join me, your host Tanvir, and my trusted co-host, Ehsan, in the latest Tanvir Talks episode where we discuss:Iranian New Year (00:00)I got a new microphone. Ehsan tells us about Iranian New Year and how he hopes to fund his new microphone through that. Arizona takes on the Apple and Google app store (04:01)Arizona are not happy that Apple and Google charge so much to make a payment through their app store and are threatening Apple’s and Google’s bottom line. Where did this bill come from? What does it specifically want Apple and Google to do? We discuss those questions, as well as what it means for you, the consumer. Also, why do people play with fiddles? Anecdotes from the last month (21:01)We revisit our thoughts on events from the last month. I recently asked for my Spotify data and found that it was pretty terrible at knowing who I was. Ehsan talks about the terrible Burger King tweet on international womens day. I go on a tangent about how I think training courses specifically for women isn’t enough. Tidal was bought by Square (37:33)Yes, this has really happened. But why? It may seem random, but we talk about how Square can really leverage Tidal to expand into the music business, and how you might be interacting with a lot more Square services when you go to see artists live. We also talk about how artists make money through streaming.Contact me!
