In The Exiled Signal Pt. 4, The Alex takes on the controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, Palestine, artistic freedom, corporate pressure and who really controls the stage.

But this episode goes beyond one argument between famous musicians. It asks a bigger question: what happens when artists reach the highest levels of the music business, only to discover that money, promoters, venues and powerful interests can still determine which ideas are considered acceptable?

From artistic independence and self-censorship to the machinery behind modern pop culture, The Alex looks at what happens when speaking your mind starts costing somebody money.

And as always, the commentary rides alongside a soundtrack that refuses to stay in one lane, featuring CAN, Afro-Cuban All Stars, The Monsters, Frosty, Die Spitz and many more.
