On this inaugural episode, host Danny Vagnoni narrates the sudden saga of HitPiece, an NFT marketplace that tried to recommodify musical artists' work without their consent. Danny sits down with Nat Puff, Left at London, to discuss how the NFT marketplace HitPiece stole her work, how to properly pay musical artists without annihilating hectares of rainforest, and a bit about her beautiful album, T.I.A.P.F.Y.H.
