Back in May 2015, a radio consultant said that women in country music are not the lettuce in the salad, but the tomatoes — they should be “sprinkled” on the playlist and not played back-to-back. “Tomatogate” got us thinking: “How bad is bad for back-to-backs?”, an audible confirmation of country radio's tokenism, or the idea that you’ve played one woman so you don’t need to play more. We looked at 29 radio stations across 19 days. Rhythm and Groove
This piece is an exploration of J Dilla's signature off-kilter timefeel that made him one of the most influential producers of the modern era. You'll learn what made his approach special through dissecting songs and making some grooves yourself. NBA Champions*
Injuries always seem to spoil the playoffs. So we created a metric that asterisks the post-2000 NBA Champions based on injured and inactive opponents. Who had the easiest and hardest roads? Find out inside. Pass The Mic
Are you talking too much in meetings? Do you think other people are? This extension displays a bar chart comparison of the share of talking during a Google Meet. Great for folks that want to be hyper-aware of how the conversation is going, or simply want a fun thing to look during an unnecessary meeting :) Quick aside!
