I think it’s my turn to run Tidal in October, and when I last checked the list you were down for next January. Which is exciting, because that means you’ll get to shut the whole thing down. But this month, it’s the turn of Richard Sanders.

He is the fourth CEO at Tidal since Jay-Z bought the company back in 2015.
