Tune in, Drop out: Community-powered radio in the age of algorithmic playlists | Pique

Live recording of: Tune in, Drop out: Community-powered radio in the age of algorithmic playlists at Pique fall edition 2025 Date: September 27, 2025 Location: Arts Court, LabO, Ottawa ABOUT THE PANEL: Music streaming platforms have ushered in the age of algorithmic playlists, prioritizing the "personalized playlist" over those curated by human selectors. While the algorithm may seem like our personal music curator, recent investigations have exposed the exploitative practices of Spotify—one of music streaming's most widely used platforms—for misleading listeners by flooding playlists with royalty-free, AI-generated music, and therefore denying artists potential revenue and exposure. If both artist and listener are being misled, then who really benefits from these algorithmic playlists? And where are the real selectors? Meanwhile, artists, curators, and community builders are coming together to build a new golden age of community-powered radio. This panel explores how terrestrial and internet-based community radio acts as a radical form of music distribution and discovery in a world where personalized playlists are offered up with little concern for active listeners or the artists behind the music.
