Your Turn to Talk: the business of music

Today, WNXP program director Jason Moon Wilkins and WPLN senior music writer Jewly Hight join us to talk about the music business.

The music industry is riddled with instability. More and more concerts and festivals are being canceled. Ticket prices continue to escalate. The ever-present cell phone is diminishing the joyful live music experience. Whether you’re a concertgoer, musician, manager, promoter, agent, or road crew, we are taking your calls — how are you navigating these complex issues?

This episode was produced by Mary Mancini.
