    The Power Struggle: AI, Ticket Gouging, and the Future of Country Music
    Feb 16 2026
    In this solo episode, host Tiffany dives into the shifting power dynamics of the 2026 music industry. From Spotify’s new stance on AI impersonation and a $3 billion lawsuit against AI company Anthropic to the government's intervention in concert ticket pricing via California’s "Fans First Act," Tiffany breaks down what these headlines mean for the survival of songwriters. Tiffany also celebrates Ella Langley’s historic chart-topping success and tackles the persistent gender gap in country radio, questioning why female airplay has plummeted from 29% in 2000 to just 8.4% today. Plus, we explore why the 90s country resurgence is about more than just nostalgia—it's a course correction for the genre.

    Raffaella "Raffi" Braun, National Director of Promotion at Triple Tigers, joins Tiffany Woys to pull back the curtain on the music industry’s radio game. From her early days as an agent at CAA to securing hits for artists like Russell Dickerson and Scotty McCreery, Raffi explains the "unquantifiable sales" of radio promotion.
