This week Stocks and Xanon report live from Austin Texas where the SXSW festival is in full swing. They needed a David Copperfield-esque magic trick to get to everything, but did manage to catch live podcast recordings, a 'print your own vinyl' activation and much more. The big shock consensus is that TikTok's days in the U.S look over.

Recommendations: Podnews Daily, The Tim Ferriss Show, Pivot
