Someone sent Brooke a DM about her b**b size?? This week on "The Industry, I Guess", Brooke Morrison and Tetris Kelly dive into the complicated relationship creators have with social media, from doomscrolling to realizing you might have a few "hater followers" keeping tabs on everything you post. Brooke shares what happened after interviewing BTS, while Tetris recaps his unforgettable birthday trip to China. Then the conversation turns serious as they unpack the latest wave of radio layoffs, including major restructuring at iHeartRadio and what it feels like watching local radio continue to disappear. Brooke reflects on returning to the same St. Louis market where she first started her career as an intern, and why today's media landscape feels fundamentally different from the one that inspired her to get into broadcasting. The hosts also debate one of music's hottest conversations right now: Lizzo suggesting radio is part of the reason her latest album hasn't connected. Is radio really to blame—or does great music still find its audience?

We're going to Disney World!! All about our upcoming trip to hang out with The Muppets in Orlando, as well as what the parks are providing us while we're there. Next, from interviewing celebrities in under five minutes to the subtle mistakes that instantly scream “amateur” on camera — this week, we’re pulling back the curtain on what actually makes a great host. We’re talking interview regrets, how to recover when you say the wrong thing live, and the skill of turning quick celebrity chats into something memorable. Plus: Met Gala carpet mishaps and the Meghan Trainor backlash. Was her latest album release really that bad?? Or do we all just have way too much time on our hands...? If you’ve ever wanted the real behind-the-scenes tea on media, music, interviewing, and the entertainment industry — this episode’s for you. Hosted by Tetris Kelly and Brooke Morrison.

It's been less than a week! How are you feeling? Listen to full episodes of the podcast on the free @AudacyMusic app, on Apple Podcasts, and online at Audacy.com! In this episode of "The Industry, I Guess", we get into the current BTS album discourse—why it might be way too early to form strong opinions after one listen, and how social media has completely changed the way we consume music. Are we losing the art of sitting with an album? We break down: Why the first half of the album feels like an evolution of the rap line’s sound, the ARIRANG sample in “Body to Body” and why it’s such a powerful cultural and musical moment, why “Like Animals” is giving 90s grunge (hello "Sex and Candy" vibes), and the nostalgic return of tropical house in “One More Night”. We also get personal about how music finds you at the exact right time in your life—and why certain songs hit deeper than you can explain in the moment. If you’re a BTS fan / ARMY, music lover, or just curious about how the industry really works, this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen to the full podcast: The Industry, I Guess 🎙 Hosted by: Brooke Morrison: @iambrookemorrison Tetris Kelly: @itstetrisbish

What does it really take to show up in the entertainment industry—on and off the mic? This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on two major (and often misunderstood) parts of media life: how to dress for high-stakes events and what a radio producer actually does behind the scenes. From red carpets and artist interviews to standing next to celebrities (and being judged by millions of fans online), we’re breaking down how to find the right outfit—without losing your identity or missing the mark professionally. Do you need a stylist? What’s “appropriate” in different rooms? And how much does perception really matter in today’s image-driven industry? Then, we get into the truth about radio producing. Spoiler: it’s way more than pressing buttons. If you’ve ever wanted to work in media, music, or entertainment—or just want a behind-the-scenes look at how it all comes together—this episode is for you. 🎧 Hosted by Tetris Kelly (@ItsTetrisBish) and Brooke Morrison (@IAmBrookeMorrison).

The entertainment industry is shifting fast—and this week we’re unpacking everything from theme park influencer culture to the massive BTS comeback event streaming on Netflix. Hosts Tetris Kelly and Brooke Morrison dive into the growing world of theme park influencer events after the buzz surrounding the upcoming Universal Studios Hollywood Fast & Furious roller coaster preview. What does it actually take to get invited to these exclusive park events? Is it follower count, industry connections, or years of relationship-building with marketing teams? Then we get into a bigger media question: Why do entertainment news shows keep getting pitched but never made? Both hosts share insider experiences auditioning for major media companies while networks quietly shelve projects. Are studios risk-averse, cutting budgets, or just unsure what the future of entertainment journalism looks like in 2026? Finally, we break down one of the biggest global music stories of the year: BTS officially returning with their new album "ARIRANG" and a global livestream event, "BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang", airing on Netflix. The historic concert—broadcast from Gwanghwamun with views of Gyeongbokgung Palace—marks the group’s first global performance together after completing military service. We talk about what this comeback means for K-pop, streaming platforms, and global fandom culture.

We're back! Season 2 of "The Industry, I Guess" kicks off with a look at how pop music, viral moments, and fandom shape the culture in real time. We start with Alysa Liu’s gold-medal performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina and how her routines—featuring music from Donna Summer and PinkPantheress/Zara Larsson’s viral track “Stateside”—helped bring new energy and internet buzz to Olympic figure skating. With the song exploding on TikTok, we break down how athletes choose their music and whether viral hits can influence Olympic routines. Next, we dive into Spotify’s newly released Top 100 Pop Songs of the Streaming Era. Artists like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Drake, Ariana Grande, and Chappell Roan make the top 10. We also discuss Zara Larsson’s viral interview revealing she’s blocked certain artists she considers “abusers” on Spotify, sparking a broader conversation about separating art from the artist in today’s streaming world. From the Olympics to TikTok to the biggest songs of the streaming era, it’s a conversation about how pop culture, music, and fandom continue to shape the entertainment industry.
