Unwrapping Spotify Wrapped - Taylor Annabell and Nina Vindum Rasmussen
Last year you listened to 494 hours of podcasts, your favourite genre was probably true crime, but
your top podcast was Media Industries! Perhaps? Well, maybe. We’re so used to algorithms
wrapping our data in a neat ball and presenting it back to us at the end of the year. The trailblazer of
these algorithmic events has been Spotify’s end-of-year celebration, Spotify Wrapped. Taylor
Annabell (Researcher, Utrecht University) and Nina Vindum Rasmussen (LSE Fellow, London School
of Economics and Political Science) help us to unwrap this phenomenon. In particular, they talk us
through insights gained from workshops they organised to get Spotify users thinking critically and
creatively about Wrapped.

AI and Copyright: Authorship and Originality - Tanya Aplin
Copyright has been predicated on protecting original works of human authorship. When AI
generates new works, however, what happens to the status of authorship, originality and
protection? For this episode, we are very pleased to welcome back Tanya Aplin Aplin (Professor of
Intellectual Property Law, King’s College London). Initially, Tanya outlines how copyright variously
covers individual, collaborative and corporate forms of authorship. The discussion then moves on to
unpack how the uses of AI problematise established conceptions of authorship and originality in
creative production.
