Current's The Pub

In a sane world, it wouldn’t take a whole show to explain how music rights work for broadcasters. But alas, we require the services of Leah Garaas, digital producer for The Current, Minnesota Public Radio’s Triple A music station. On this week’s episode, a primer on music rights for everyone from station program directors to independent podcasters. Also, Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal live-tweets a Republican debate and tells a presidential candidate to “shut up.” Kosher for a journalist? Our host Adam Ragusea thinks so, but others disagree.
