Ep.6 - Podcast Vs Music, Direct Shot & Kendrick Lamar

For the final "In Search of Sauce" for 2019... Brandon brings a piece on Podcasting and how it's rising popularity on Spotify is a potential threat to music on the biggest streaming platform.

Charlie brings a piece on Warner Music & US distributor Direct Shot chronically not delivering CDs & vinyl to local record stores, artist merch sites & consumers.

And finally, Nigel brings an article that makes the case for Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid, m.A.A.d City" being the album of the decade.
