Now that the US House of Representatives, acting in an unusually bipartisan way, has finally passed a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine, the big question is what the Ukrainians should spend it on. "Sending in a massive armed police force to arrest students advocating for peace sends the wrong message and only exacerbates tensions further,” Zayan said in a statement. The dean of Columbia College, the undergraduate liberal arts college at Columbia University, sent an email Wednesday to alumni about the protests on campus, describing it as a "difficult moment" for the New York school. The demonstration at USC escalated when protesters refused to relocate and remove their tents and other prohibited items, Provost Andrew T. Guzman said in a statement posted online.

In addition to the 150,000+ fans who came out to the tour, Schulz's stand-up and podcast content receives 12 million views across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok - PER WEEK. Pivoting to the topic of more explicit, intentional business decisions, Spotify Premium is now available to bundle with Soundtrap, the “cloud-based audio recording platform” and fellow Swedish company that Spotify acquired in late 2017. Of note here is that Soundtrap is not strictly for music production but a more general toolkit that distinguishes offerings for “Music Makers” from those meant for “Storytellers.” In other words, it appeals directly to podcasters. In-person podcast tours have shown that people are willing to pay for something beyond a pre-recorded episode.

But so far as the team can tell, the sky’s the limit when it comes to what Moment House can offer through its elevated, live digital platform. To wrap up, this partnership, which was announced last Thursday, gives SXM Media “exclusive global ad sales rights to reVolver’s extensive lineup of podcasts,” which includes popular Spanish-language shows like El Show de Piolín and Erazno y La Chokolata. All shows from reVolver — “the leading multicultural, audio-on-demand content creator and publisher in the U.S.,” according to the press release — will be distributed and available on all podcast platforms, by way of Stitcher. As of press time, it looks like the Full Send episode is still playable on other major podcast platforms, so there’s an interesting dynamic playing out.

"We gave our members a voice, we gave them a chance, we gave them a better process and ultimately a much better policy," Johnson told reporters after the votes on Saturday, highlighting what he says are improvements from the Senate's foreign aid package. Schumer said Senate Republicans and Democrats had a "few moments ago…locked in an agreement enabling the Senate to finish work on the supplemental with the first vote on Tuesday afternoon." Washington — The House approved a $95 billion foreign aid package Saturday, in a pivotal moment for House Speaker Mike Johnson as he tries to stave off a right-wing rebellion.

Johnson said earlier this week that if he hadn't moved forward with his plan, an effort to bypass him and force a vote on the Senate bill would have gained more support. House Democrats tried to use a rarely successful legislative maneuver known as a discharge petition to do just that, but are short of the 218 signatures needed. The fourth bill would allow the sale of frozen assets of Russian oligarchs to help fund future aid to Ukraine, potentially force the sale of TikTok and authorize stricter sanctions on Russia, China and Iran. There are reports of cheers breaking out of the trenches in eastern Ukraine — probably came from one of your folks — a reporter or someone. But that they’re cheering as they watch the House vote in support for Ukraine. For months, while MAGA Republicans were blocking aid, Ukraine has been running out of artillery shells and ammunition.

Casey McCabe, newly appointed head of live music & strategy, has come over from AEG Presents. But Moment House is looking to expand more into other genres of music that haven’t been as well represented in livestreams, and beyond that, to move into non-musical areas like comedy and masterclasses. This growth figures into seven key hires the company is announcing today. The House acted not a moment too soon in passing an aid package so Kyiv can get US-made artillery shells, air-defense systems and drones. The Council on American-Islamic Relations chapter in Austin, Texas, condemned “unnecessary and excessive force” used by police officers Wednesday to arrest students protesting the Israel-Hamas war. Los Angeles Police Department officers are arresting protesters at the University of Southern California for criminal trespassing after a dispersal order was announced by campus police at a university park.

The University of Texas Austin recently sent students an email alerting them that there was a “Notice of Dispersal Order” following a day of clashes and arrests on the campus. The University of Southern California's Department of Public Safety ordered protesters at the campus’ Alumni Park to disperse Wednesday afternoon. The university recently shifted to hybrid classes due to safety concerns, allowing students to take classes and final exams online.

Traditional podcasting platforms have been slower to moderate the open ecosystem of RSS-based shows, but YouTube — which has quietly become a podcasting powerhouse — has a long history of moderating its platform, if somewhat imperfectly. With podcasts, there are several examples to point to even just from recent months, like removing Joe Rogan content for vaccine misinformation and permanently banning Dan Bongino. Moment House provides the perfect platform for creators to deepen engagement with fans through premium digital events while earning revenue. Sports like boxing have been leveraging a pay-per-view format for decades, but artists like Justin Bieber or Halsey have never been offered a beautiful, socially-driven online platform to bring high-quality digital entertainment experiences to their biggest fans.

CEO Marty Michael tells me he’s excited for even more independent shows to get in on it, especially since they’ve already seen a “halo effect” of sales from the existing relationships that advertisers have with Headgum shows. Jacksepticeye, the hugely popular YouTube gaming creator, will debut his biographical documentary “How Did We Get Here? ” as a ticketed, livestreaming event exclusively on the Moment House platform. Creator subscription platform Patreon has acquired Moment, which provides a platform for hosting and ticketing livestreamed events. Sam Berger is being named head of music, coming over from Spotify’s artist & label marketing team. Michele Bernstein, the company’s new marketing strategist, arrives from WME.

Tame Impala performing his 2010 debut Innerspeaker from the oceanside studio where the album was made. St. Vincent bringing fans back to the ’70s in a psychedelic concert with a full band. Isaiah Rashad performing his album The House is Burning in, well, a burning house. “Upsells” that can only be had in the moment add to the experience and may help keep ticket costs reasonable despite the sometimes high production values evident in some of Moment House’s programming. “Similar to previous reforms made in this Congress, this change aims to ensure projects are consistent with the community development goals of the federal program,” Cole said Thursday in a letter to lawmakers announcing the new ban.

Going even further, he aims for Moment House to be a key part of the metaverse — that notion of a shared, virtual space where humans interact as avatars that tech heavyweights and music executives alike lately can’t stop talking about. It’s no accident that these seven are all coming over from prestigious appointments at a time when Moment House is making the transition from spunky startup to wanting to be seen as having a place in the firmament for post-pandemic years to come.

Andrew wrapped up a wild 2020 creating and starring in Netflix's "Schulz Saves America," taking on the year's most divisive topics in a fearlessly raw and irreverent four-part special. The special was inspired by his weekly 'Turn Your Phone' rants, which exploded during the pandemic. A native New Yorker, Schulz is known for his hilariously unapologetic takes and merciless, off-the-cuff interactions with audiences.
