This Episode

Storm Gloor has been tracking how songs succeed since he was a young teen . . . and now explores anything from how music cities can succeed and how one-hit wonders thrive (or don’t). We enjoyed talking about how cities create and sustain music scenes with help from civic organizations, which may come from government or from the community. We discussed Richard Florida’s revised creative economy studies on the impact of creative communities on the rest of the city, and returned to how streaming may be impacting both local cities and how songs are constructed.
