In the latest episode of The Lorenzos Music Podcast, I meet Ben Pate, the creator of Bandwagon.fm, an open-source platform designed specifically for musicians that integrates with the Fediverse, allowing artists to share their music in a decentralized manner.

Ben talks about the concept behind Bandwagon, explaining how it originated from a need for a more open alternative to music platforms.

I have a vintage Candy Land game from 1955 by Milton Bradley and I was about to sell it so I thought I would add it to my personal art history course concept I've been doing . I'm going to try and see if I can find out how this game was created, designed and why? Here is what I found out about this game https://candy-land.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land_Wiki Candy Land is a board game about children exploring a world made out of candy and other sweets that originally came out in 1949.
