Industry Bullshit
Welcome to the Industry Bullshit Podcast. Industry Bullshit is a podcast where four people in the music industry get together to bullshit about arts & culture, its business, and the manifold political and social issues related thereto. And sometimes to bullshit about the hell scape that is the industry itself. Hosted by Glenn Curran (Entertainment Lawyer / Artist Manager / co-owner of Chicago indie label Sooper Records), NNAMDI (Artist / Producer / co-owner of Sooper Records), Sen Morimoto (Artist / Producer / co-owner of Sooper Records) and Steve Marek (Musician / Audio Engineer / owner of Cybernetic Meadow recording studio in Chicago). Together, the gang uses their combined decades of experience across many facets of the industry to analyze the business, discuss music news & current events, and to provide insight & advice on a broad range of music / entertainment industry topics.

Episodes
In this episode we check in on some recent developments in the science of animals and music, including dancing rats, death metal bats, and a new mystery in the already mysterious world of whale songs. We also discuss animal fronted hardcore bands, the totemic presence of our animal friends in music generally, and test our collective knowledge of animal references in famous song titles and band names.
In the inaugural episode of the Industry Bullshit Podcast, the gang tackles class composition in the music industry in light of some depressing findings from a 2022 study in the journal Sociology titled "Social Mobility and 'Openness' in Creative Occupations since the 1970s" (Brook, Miles, O'Brien, Taylor). Join our hosts as they talk shit and unpack aspects of an industry built largely by and for the rich kids.
