The only music podcast that isn't afraid to ask the really tough question: Is It Worse Than 311? Each episode we examine the careers of any given artist and take the piss out of the life works of people who are far, far more successful than ourselves (mostly).

Sometimes we see a person at their highest and best, and other times ...

We’ve entered a new era. The creation and collection of information play an ever-increasing — yet often hidden — role in our lives.

Is this making things better? Worse? Raw Data is a show about how information becomes power. What are the implications for all of us, now that mountains of data are more ...
