| 05 Sep 2024 | EP4 - Manufacturing the Band | 00:50:29 | |
Lou Perlman became infamous for creating some of the bestselling Boy Bands in the world and running a ponzi scheme for over 40 years. What did this guy get up to? How did he make his money? More importantly, why were boy Bands such money makers for studios and what lies behind the extravagant facade? We deep dive into Perlmans past, his scams, the exploitation of his artists and then look into how this is the norm in the music industry where music and the artists are commodities. In the end of the episode, we listen to the words of the very honest, Simon Cowell.
