Guest: Erin Jacobson, Music Industry Attorney in Private Practice, Beverly Hills, California. Two-thirds of US consumers listen through on-demand streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube. Paying only a couple dollars a month for unlimited access to anything you want to listen to seems great for consumers, but musicians have complained for years that they’re getting a raw deal with streaming. This month President Trump signed the Music Modernization Act, which addresses some of loopholes that have led artists to receive less than they are owed when their songs stream.

Guest: Jessica L. Barrington-Trimis, Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine, University of Southern California Tobacco use has been steadily dropping in the US among both adults and teenagers over the last few decades. But use of electronic cigarettes is rising – especially among youth. E-Cigarettes are battery-powered and come in flavors like watermelon and donut cream. While they’re technically illegal to sell to teens, the data suggest many, many teens are using them regularly and often don’t realize they contain nicotine. A new development in the e-cigarette market has public health officials even more worried – so-called “pod mods” deliver up to ten times as much nicotine as regular e-cigarettes and they’re booming among teens.
