If we will indeed own nothing, just how much nothing will we own? We’re going to follow the numbers to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes. And we will use some standard economic tools as our guide along the way. On this episode of METALOMICS, we apply basic economic theories to the subscription music economy. We ask, what kind of market is this? Monopoly? Competitive? Where do we find elasticity at play? How productive is this market? In part two of this 3-part series, we get straight to the heart to see what economic beats are bumping inside the subscription music economy.

Are you a subscriber? What do you subscribe to? Magazines? Newspapers? Milk? These dated references make one thing clear: The subscription model has been around for awhile. On this episode of The Metalomics Podcast, we zoom in on the music subscription economy to broaden our understanding of the underlying structures, operations, and technical aspects that put music in minds and profits in pockets. This is the first leg of a 3-part journey. So grab your stuff, climb aboard, and let’s see if by the time we’ve reached our destination we know what it means to eventually own nothing.

Does your band have a van? A bus? An 84 Oldsmobile? Our guess is yes. In which case, you’re hurting right now. And we don’t mean from banging your head. We’re talking about the pain at the pump. You don’t need to imagine what it’s like, about to head to a show, looking at the numbers going up and up on unleaded gasoline and wondering to yourself, “Why the f@&$ is this so expensive?!”

On this episode of METALOMICS, we try to answer that question. We’re digging deep on oil. What is it, why do we rely on foreign countries for it despite pumping plenty of it right here in the U.S., and why does literally everything else get more expensive when the price of oil goes up? If you think elasticity, supply and demand, and inflation are heavy concepts, then this is an episode you don’t wanna miss.
