Episode 6: AI, steady jobs, CHILD and the evolution of the music industry

That's it! Six episodes! We've actually gone and hit what we set out to do! Will we do more? Ok, probably, but in the meantime we decided to celebrate the six-episode milestone with a special guest! Join us and musical legend Andrew Vanstone while we talk about AI, working a steady job, the evolution of the music industry, and how The Running Man is closer to becoming a reality!

You can find us on other sites at @benjionelung and @teddyhitch, or you can pester Randy at @andrewvmusic - let us know whether you liked him being a guest on the show, or whether it was a dark mistake that we should never, ever repeat.
