Summary
Today on the podcast Ashley is joined by regular contributor Ryan Packer and first-time guest KEXP DJ and co-founder of Timber! Outdoor Music Festival Kevin Sur to talk about the recent monopoly ruling against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, the dominance Ticketmaster has over the local music scene, the state of music festivals, and what makes Timber! so unique. Next, Ryan discusses changes coming to bus route 8 that may help shed it of its nickname, “L8”. They also answer a transit related question from Hannah S. Finally, the trio discuss what made them happy this week and their plans for the weekend. There’s a lot going on!
