Teddy chats with Ron Knox, senior researcher and writer at The Institute for Local Self-Reliance, about his recent article in Wired Magazine, Big Music Needs to Be Broken Up to Save the Industry. He tells stories about 

• why music is worse now than it was when the industry was more competitive, 
• how Sweet Jane Recordings is actually owned by a big conglomerate, 
• how independent record stores ended up with prescription cough syrup instead of indie records,
• how YouTube effectively sets a floor on streaming royalty rates, and how big radio pays no royalty rates for playing music. 

Lastly, he talks about how he is optimistic that new antitrust leadership and new legislation in Congress will reshape the industry.

We hear exclusively from Russian oil minister Alexander Novak who says Moscow could back out of dollar-denominated oil contracts should Washington persist in its sanctions. Meanwhile, UK travel is back in turmoil after the British government takes Portugal off its Covid travel green list while adding seven nations to its red list. The aviation and tourism sectors nosedive on the unexpected move. And a potential blockbuster deal looks to be in the works with billionaire Bill Ackman in talks to take a 10 per cent acquisition of Universal Music Group through his blank-cheque company. The valuation is estimated at $35bn-$40bn ahead of its listing on the Euronext Amsterdam later this year.
