Episode 547 – The Key to the Con of Spotify and the Nostalgia of Video Stores

Sean is running on empty while Todd shares frustrations about emails from Meta and the chaos surrounding people’s photos and videos. They delve into topics like the differences between phone photography and 35mm, space management on services like OneDrive and Google Drive, and maintenance challenges with pre-diagnostics. The episode takes a detour into pop culture with Todd's thoughts on the new Superman, BS raps, and nostalgic tales about video stores.

Keycon 2025 also gets its due: from Doc’s vocals and singing "Kickapoo" to panels, a new venue, and tales of Sean accidentally stumbling into a Live Action Role Play. Music discussions include Ghostfires, Chaz Charles, Jerry Reed, and Sean’s old band Salty Bear on BandCamp. They also dive into the controversies surrounding Soundcloud, Spotify’s treatment of creators, and the broader struggles faced by artists and podcasters in the industry.
