Throughout the last hundred years predictions of the death of music have been made as technology has changed.

This episode examines how these predictions are merely a sign of changing power or changing wealth in the industry.

Marc Paterson and Dave Berry consider a few of the defining moments where music outperformed its naysayers and flourished.

Something different - a podcast on philosophy with a little bit of music. Hauntology is originally derived from the work of Jacques Derrida and latterly Mark Fisher and pops up everywhere in daily life. Loosely translated as a nostalgia for lost futures hauntology can be observed on many levels from the individual to the societal. Neither Dave Berry nor Marc Paterson in this episode profess to be anything other than armchair observers of modern life but that doesn't stop them having a few comments on this obscure philosophy. Enjoy.
