In this podcast episode, Brian is joined by Alexander Millar from Vattica. Alex shares their experiences living in Los Angeles and sheds light on the challenges faced by the homeless population. They delve into the topic of using digital platforms to give money to homeless individuals, highlighting that while it may provide temporary relief, it fails to address the underlying societal issues causing homelessness.

Alex also introduces their vision for a music festival called Neuro Nite, which aims to create a space that prioritizes the comfort and accessibility of attendees from neurodivergent, disabled, queer, non-binary, and trans communities. They discuss the potential challenges involved in organizing such an event and express their ethical concerns about participating in live shows during the ongoing pandemic.

Furthermore, Alex touches upon the impact of capitalism on the music industry and expresses their frustration with social media platforms. They delve into the ways in which capitalism can hinder artistic expression and creativity, and how social media platforms often prioritize popularity and engagement over genuine connection and meaningful content.

Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the experiences of the homeless population, the importance of creating inclusive spaces, and the challenges faced by artists in navigating the music industry and social media landscape.
