Episode: Apple Gets A Cool Image, What Do Artists Get?
Description: Local bands and artists are being asked to perform at San Francisco's Apple store in Union Square. As payment they get Airpods, Apple TV, or a watch. Not money. It's a story that KQED Arts music editor Nastia Voynovskya first broke. Some artists like the exposure from a large corporation like Apple. Others say artists, many whom are people of color, are being used to advertise Apple's image as creative and diverse.
Guest: Nastia Voynovskaya, music editor at KQED Arts
