In this episode of Mic Drop, Ed Purnell and Ben Brookes wade into the wild world of ticket reselling, music history, and Trademark Branding — because where else would you get that combo?
From the chaos of dynamic pricing to the soulful influence of blues on modern music, the pair explore how culture, business, and creativity constantly collide. They dive into why authentic branding matters, how music genres blend into something new, and why legislators are finally cracking down on resellers who ruin the fun for real fans.
Packed with humour, personal stories, and a few unexpectedly profound moments, this episode proves that whether it’s concerts, franchises, or the blues… everything is better when you keep it real.
