Sound Museum Boston is closing, where will local musicians rehearse? Mike Crawford interviews two longtime local artists, Dave Tree and Scott Matalon about the city of Boston's shady dealings related to the closure of Boston's cultural institution, The Sound Museum. https://www.wbur.org/news/2023/01/10/sound-museum-owners-cry-foul-as-their-tenants-likely-secure-new-spaces-without-them?fbclid=IwAR31RGmFvNNBOTk1nDwVtvNeQo-0IwLcOxOspqR-MjTpa_HPKWM56DJ7JLk The Desmonds believe The Record Co. was a beneficiary of favoritism, alleging that MASSCreative had a conflict of interest because the city’s chief of arts and culture, Kara Elliott-Ortega, chairs its board. Elliott-Ortega is in a relationship with The Record Co.’s executive director, Matt McArthur. “[Elliott-Ortega] wanted to get my tenants away from me for her boyfriend's business,” Katherine Desmond said. “It's unethical. It's unmoral. And I'm hoping to prove that it's illegal, and litigate against it.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theyoungjurks/support
