On today's show I am pleased to have back on the show Cedric Cobban and Eddie Corral of the Bitshares Music Foundation. Cedric and Eddie talk to me about the music business - past, present and future. And indeed the future looks bright for the music business as we prepare to move away from our old paradigms that keep the power in the hands of music business fat cats and put the power where it belongs - into the hands of the musicians, the music creators, the artists... for the first time in world history. How is this possible you might ask? Well you'll have to listen to the interview to find out now won't you, but I'll give you a hint - it has something to do with the world's first decentralized music label.

On today's show I interview Max Hernandez, Author of the amazing Novel, Thieves Emporium. Max takes us deep inside this intriguing novel to the badlands - a place where government spying is the norm and where we're given a choice to either give up our freedoms out of fear, or to be brave and keep our freedoms despite some discomfort. I divide this interview into two segments and dedicate this entire episode of Bitcoins and Gravy to this stunning work of fiction and fact by author Max Hernandez - one of America's most talented writers and thinkers.
