Associate Professor Michael Walsh: The Great Spotify Backlash

Spotify has changed the way the world listens to music, but artists, fans and even tech critics are starting to turn against it.

Guest: Michael Walsh, Associate Dean of Education and Associate Professor in Social Science in the Faculty of Business, Government and Law, University of Canberra

Presenter: Andy Mac
