Happy Easter to all the musicians and creators out there!

In this mini-episode Josh discusses his feelings on the recent article from MEAA.org (Media Entertainment & Arts Alliance) where they describe a recent situation where students of AIM (Australian Institute of Music) where encouraged by faculty to pursue "exposure" in the form of performing for free on the Warner Bros. produced TV program The Bachelor.

As Josh doesn't go into much detail of the contents of the article itself you can read it for your here (1 minute read) https://www.meaa.org/news/meaa-appalled-by-aim-and-warner-bros-seeking-musicians-to-work-for-free/

Josh's own opinion can be summed up as this:

"Exposure is so subjective and so situationally dependant, that any paying student of an institution that is advocating for artists (incl. their own students) to consider playing/performing for free, should be very worried, and should be questioning the integrity of their educators."
