BTB Ep 39: Eriq Gardner on the Phillip Phillips lawsuit; Megan Golden talks PledgeMusic campaigns

Hi Podcast Listeners! In our first segment, Hollywood Reporter Senior Editor Eriq Gardner joins Ryan and Dave to discuss the ongoing litigation involving American Idol winner Phillip Phillips and his management company 19 Entertainment. The case serves as a prime example of the difficulties that artists can endure when trying to advocate for their rights against big entertainment companies. In the second segment, country pop artist Megan Golden joins the podcast. Megan is an indie artist and a college student at Belmont University. She gives a lot of great tips about balancing a music career with college studies and on creating an effective and engaging PledgeMusic campaign. You can support Megan's crowdfunding campaign for her new EP by visiting pledgemusic.com/megangolden. You can also visit http://thechristopprogram.com/woba-awards-2016.html to vote for her for Best Artist at the WOBA Awards. In the "D Block" segment. Ryan talks about his crazy adventure buying a new car and wonders why car dealers still try to get people to pay high prices for cars in an age where everyone has Google and knows how much a car should cost. We also do a round of "Dave The Ultimate Arbiter" and have Dave decide whether a particular establishment's wardrobe policy crosses a line. Thank you all very much for listening.
