Explicit content warning

08/05/16 • 46 min

We're back with the third episode of the Gowhere You Love Podcast and if you're just joining us, it's the three of us on the left (Sgt. Tibs, JJ, and Naagy) talkin' topics in music, sports, business, and entertainment. There's a catch to this episode, as the cover art may indicate: that's a pic of us from 2010. We, along with GWHH co-founder Maks G on the right, were all youngins in the music industry around then (as our general lack of facial hair may also suggest.) Fast forward to today where we shed some light and our own experiences on age bias in the music industry, which includes a little glimpse of how Gowhere even got started. You can zoom ahead to that discussion if you like (follow the timestamps below) but we start with the recent VMA nominations and use a few categories as a framework for general commentary on the year in music. The next segment centers around the history and our nostalgic memories of "Yahooooohoo!" after it was recently sold to Verizon for $4.8B. You'll also learn: historical facts on the VMAs in our trivia round, our AIM screen names, and our tips to the young artists and professionals in the music industry today. (One of these is more serious than the others.)
