May 24, 2024 - Week in Review: Apple's Top 100 Albums, the NCAA settlement, and the NYC-Dublin Portal
About The Episode
Today on the Culture Show, Callie Crossley, James Bennett II and Edgar B Herwick III go over the latest headlines on our arts and culture week-in-review.
The topics they discuss include, Scarlett Johansson’s feud with Open AI, Elvis Presley’s Graceland having a brush with foreclosure fraudsters, and Apple’s 100 best album list. They also look at a taco stand in Mexico City that has just received a Micehlin star, discussing if this is a burden or a blessing. Plus, they analyze how two antitrust headlines affect the arts and culture universe: the NCAA settlement and the Department of Justice suing Live Nation for having a monopoly on the concert industry.
Finally, they deliver another edition of follow-up Friday, bringing listeners up to speed on some of the stories we’ve been covering on our weeks-in-review, which include an update on the American Museum of Natural History, the photography of the late, great Charles Daniels AKA “Master Blaster,” and the public art exhibit that connects Dublin and New York City via a live streamed portal. What can go wrong when you have a huge webcam connecting two major cities? Well, it turns out a lot of nudity and other offenses but the overseers of the portal have decided to give humanity a second chance.
