Show notes
In this episode of the FYM Show, Ty and Yoh discuss digital wellness and what it’s been like for Ty to remove Instagram due to high screen time, noting it’s limited some ad and artist-support work but mostly shifts his attention to long-form learning on YouTube and LinkedIn rather than doom scrolling. They compare short-form versus long-form content and argue that short clips can promote long-form podcasts, with YouTube remaining key for long viewing while Instagram functions more as a promotional and social tool. Ty explains why Culture is producing a feature film, citing years of studying TV/film, improved affordability through AI, an indie studio strategy of releasing films direct-to-consumer and via festivals, and building IP alongside music soundtracks. They also cover union realities in film, and Ty argues the music industry needs unions to standardize fairness and protect artists and managers, warning against handshake deals.
