ICYMI - “Blue Dot Fever” Is A Symptom Of Bigger Problems

On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Pitchfork news director Alex Suskind to talk about why musicians keep coming down with “blue dot fever.” Stars like Meghan Trainor and Post Malone are among many in recent months who have cancelled entire tours, seemingly due to a lack of ticket sales. Has social media changed what it means to be famous, or have things like Ticketmaster finally made concerts too expensive to attend? Or are we, the audience, to blame? 

This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.
