Larry Fitzmaurice on the state of music media

<p>This episode features Larry Fitzmaurice, a veteran music critic who recently launched an excellent newsletter called <a href='https://lastdonutofthenight.substack.com/'>Last Donut of the Night</a>. This conversation is largely focused on music media - both independent, like Fluxblog and Last Donut, and our experiences working for corporate publications that are now largely driven by metrics and social media trends. We talk about what we like about doing things on our own, and what we think the broader media needs to do to break out of its creative doldrums and move away from the often poisonous cultures of the companies.</p>
