Mariana Timony is a music journalist, senior editor at the Bandcamp Daily, and author of the Weird Girls Post newsletter. She joins me to talk about the joys and pains of being part of a music scene, criticizing music criticism, a nuanced perspective on the Burger Records scandal, how selling out is still a bad thing, the prevalence of playlists as a big tech psy-op, and more.
