Great Job Peter!
I loved Leo Bassi talking about walking around “with a big fucking screen on (his) back”, showing movies and collecting money in a hat afterward. Plus his philosophical take on comedy and tragedy was enlightening.
Simona Levi called the oXcars “Glamorous Disobedience” and it was definitely that. Easily the best show/party I have ever been to.
I can’t wait till next year!

Hi Peter! Good podcast! Conveys great festival groove. Makes you feel like going there! However, for non-artists, the issue is rather difficult to grasp. Why not tell people honestly and in detail how artists earn their money and how they would like to earn it?

@ Daniela: next year will certainly see an episode on how creators “make money from free”
