Big Brother and the Hodling Company is a podcast about music + web3, where MacEagon Voyce speaks with the pioneers working at the music-web3 crossroads. Together we're fending off Big Brother, defying the blitzkrieg of domination and death rays with good music and structural transformation.
MacEagon Voyce is a writer, musician, and tech founder. After five years of balancing culture journalism at VICE with people ops work at various startups, he founded a social music app called Grey Matter and started falling down web3 rabbit holes. He’s especially fascinated by collective ownership and realigning platform incentives around the creation of public good.
Kat Rodgers is a music journalist and the community lead of Water & Music, a music research decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO.
Hailing from Northern Island and now London-based, Kat has written for everyone from NME to DJ Mag to Stereogum to TechRadar, and she’s shepherded Water & Music from a nascent web2 community to a full-blown 2000-member DAO of music industry experts the whole world round.
We chatted about her music journey – one that started and continues with Bjork – and the evolving or perhaps not yet existent role of music journalists in web3. And we get an inside look at the cogs and inner machinations of Water & Music, whose important research and potent, bleeding edge analysis is creating a more transparent and better informed music industry.
