I've gotten so many questions about the Music Modernization Act bill now making its way through Congress right now that I thought I’d bring on an expert to get us up to speed. 

Daryl Frydman is the Recording Academy’s chief industry and government relations officer based in Washington D. C. He's also been with us before on podcast #184. 

Daryl has his finger on the pulse of what’s going on in Washington and how that could affect and benefit everyone in the music business. 

In the interview we talked about the Music Modernization Act and exactly how it’s going to help musicians, songwriters and producers, what it needs to finally pass and what happens if it doesn’t, the efforts of the Recording Academy to push things along, and what you can do to help.

On the intro I look at the the world's most expensive vinyl records, and cable company Monster's attempt at launching their "Monster Money" crypto-currency.
