In this week's show, Steve and Stuart get to grips with government legislation and bands turning down big bucks:

Stu’s Big Number: after some gentle ribbing from Steve on last week's (small) Big Number, Stu returns with a whopper: 2.5 trillion - but what is it?
Will Drake face Kendrick Lamar in the witness box?
Steve takes a 13-point "personality test" to see if he's a music Superfan
Breaking news from the UK governmental inquiry into streaming payments to artists and songwriters;
Los Campesinos! turn down a $60,000 offer from Airbnb to use their music in an advert – but why?
...and how does music sync – where songs get put into TV ads and movies, etc – work anyway?
What's the connection between Taylor Swift and Five Finger Death Punch?

And in the special post-show section just for our Patreon Superfans, Steve and Stu get classical and chat about:

Which fanclub Steve was a member of as a 14-year-old;
Steve visits the First night of the Proms
Is classical music expensive – or actually cheap in the era of £250 tickets?

Are too many heritage bands touring now? Will people stop buying tickets?
What's the average price of a gig ticket now, anyway?
In the era of no physical tickets, are selfies at the show the new "keeping the ticket stub"?

As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!

See you next week!
