The Salt Path Controversy - Explained
Are the couple behind the phenomenally successful 'The Salt Path' lying in their incredible memoir? How has an AI band duped music fans around the world? What is the secret sauce to the Youtube sensation Hot Ones?
The Salt Path rocked the world in 2018 when couple Raynor and Moth Winn told their real-life tale overcoming terminal illness and homelessness by taking a 630 mile walk around the UK. Now an incredible article in the Observer claims that the main elements of Raynor and Moth Winn’s story, including their names, are fabrications. What is the truth and what do publishers or film studios do in cases like this?
The Velvet Sundown are racking up millions of listeners on Spotify, despite having never existed. Does it matter that our streaming services are flooded with AI slop - and can Richard and Marina have a number one hit using the same software?
Hot Ones, it's the show with hot sauces and even hotter IP. The Sean Evans fronted YouTube show has sold the format to a German comedian - but what is the secret behind this success?
