    • Authenticity - Gatekeeping, Keeping it Real, and “Cowboy Carter”

      How important, if at all, is authenticity in music? Hosts E and Tank use Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” as a jumping-off point to dig into this slippery topic. How can you tell if an artist is being authentic? Is authenticity even possible in pop music? And so what if it isn’t? There may be no clear answers, but it’s definitely worth the discussion.

    • Music and Money

      On this episode of The Extended Play Podcast, hosts E and Tank talk about some of the many issues around artists being fairly compensated for their art. Streaming revenue, the relationship between an artist’s financial security and their creative integrity, and a whole lot more are up for discussion. We may not have all the answers, but maybe it’s more important that we - as fans - start asking the questions.

    • Playlist Challenge - Songs About Clothing

      You know, we thought this’d be an easy one. Pick five songs with items of clothing in the title, send them to your co-host, and rate them. Unfortunately, once you get past “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” and “Blue Suede Shoes,” there’s not a whole lot out there! But we toughed it out, all for YOU - the Extended Family. Enjoy!
