From Russ’ Rant to NBA Legends: Alex and Regi Talk Content Creation, Music Journalism, and More.

On this Patreon-exclusive episode of the ‘The Need to Know Podcast’, Regi opens the show by checking in with Alex, who’s fresh off his first week of running ‘Need to Know Studios’. But things quickly take a personal turn when a question from Alex leads Regi to deliver her candid thoughts on women’s experiences during their menstrual cycle.

As the conversation flows, Alex shares why he believes he’s particularly empathetic toward others. The duo also digs into a hot topic: Russ’ recent outburst about the state of music journalism. They don’t hold back as they dissect how artists, like Russ, are now becoming content creators, which they argue has reduced the need for traditional music journalists. Alex isn’t shy about his criticism of Russ’ take on the industry, either.

The episode wraps up with Alex discussing Netflix’s new sports docuseries ‘Starting 5’, while Regi reveals her all-time favorite NBA player, ending the episode on a lighter note.
