This week on Gig & Tell, we're trying something a little different... we went full podcast mode! 🎙️

Instead of sharing our own gig stories, we're diving into some of the internet's most chaotic concert-related "Am I The Asshole?" Reddit posts. From gig etiquette disasters and queue drama to friendship fallouts, terrible concert behaviour, and questionable decisions, we're reading the stories, giving our verdicts, and asking the important question...

Who was actually the asshole?

In this episode of Gig & Tell, we’re tackling one of the biggest (and most controversial) topics in music right now: AI.

From AI-generated songs going viral to the growing presence of artificial artists, we ask the big questions—would you still listen to a song if you loved it, only to find out it wasn’t made by a human? Is AI a creative tool or a threat? And could we eventually lose the heart and soul of music altogether?

We dive into the impact AI is already having on the industry, how it might shape the future of artists and live music, and where we personally draw the line as fans.

It’s a mix of debate, opinions, and a few uncomfortable “what if” scenarios you might not have considered yet.

Let us know what you think—are you embracing AI in music, or does it feel like something important is being lost?
