We're joined by music journalist, manager and promoter Sean Adams to discuss one of the month's nosiest marketing spats: The argument whether social tactics to build a "narrative" around a musical artist through 'user generated content' generated by a paid-for agency amount to tricking both algorithms and real people into becoming a fan. As popular social media accounts across the globe declare recent indie rock heroes Geese of being a 'psy-op', Adams and host Sam Anderson discuss what that means and what music marketing really consists in in 2026. Stay tuned for some expert music recommendations.
