Tomorrowland, doomscrolling and the cost of being online

Being online is probably good for your DJ career. It also takes something, and nobody talks about that part.

We are back from the summer break with Ralph from Bassjackers and Jay Hardway. Jay banned himself from doomscrolling four days before recording. Ralph came off a Tomorrowland run and explains why the smaller stage beat the main stage.

Underneath both stories is the same question. How much attention does an online career cost you, and what are you willing to trade for it? Plus an announcement about where this podcast goes next.
