A blistering 60-minute takedown of Spotify’s 2025 death spiral: Daniel Ek’s €600M war-drone investment, AI ghost artists siphoning royalties, and £0.003-per-stream poverty pay. From Deerhoof’s exit to your one-click switch to Bandcamp or Qobuz.

I talk with Páidí McNicholl , one of the lead campaigners with the Save Lough Neagh campaign about the current state of play with the Lough and Sundays marh for clean water in Belfast

Spotify is a vile thing but is there a solution? More Lough Neagh updates as my predictions come true, a look at Israeli terrorism and I make you endure a video of Ken O'Keefe having to sit through a disaster of an interview with reactionary James Whale and his girlfriend.
