Show Notes

My guest is the US singer-songwriterDavid Lowery. David has a decades-long history in music and is probably best known as frontman of bands like Camper van Beethoven and Cracker. Less know, he has been teaching courses on the music business in the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia, where I also work. In recent years, David has also been a tireless activist for the right of musicians and a fighter against streaming companies. He is currently involved in a court case against Spotify. David tweets at @davidclowery.

David and I talk about band and song names, about "white angst", about music and politics, and about non-nativist populism.
