Ownership Or Equality? With Joe Budden recently announcing that he’s ending his contract with Spotify for his number 1 rated podcast, the internet immediately started buzzing. After a response from Breakfast Club host Charlamagne The God that Joe needs to negotiate better, fans began to take sides. Given Charlamagne The God’s recent announcement of a partnership for a podcast network on iHeart radio, the question now comes up of having a seat at the table vs building your own. Are both aspects correct? Should black people in America be more concerned with building their own table, or getting an equity stake at someone else’s? What’s an acceptable amount of ownership that a creator is willing to part with? With podcasts being larger than ever before, should black podcasters continue a path of independence, or seek network deals?
