Doubling down on a Seed investment in Moment House, Forerunner led a $12M Series A this week with participation from UTA Ventures, artists Halsey and Kaytranada, comedian Whitney Commings, Defy Ventures, Worklife VC, and others. The company plans to use the funding to expand into new genres like comedy and podcast, and continue to build the product with an eye toward social engagement. As the physical touring industry mounts a comeback, Mehta says Moment House is working with acts like Tinashe on virtual tour stops to cap off their in-person tours. “Even if you do a 200-city world tour, that is still a fraction of your audience,” he says. “There are still so many people you’re not reaching.” Other artists are using Moment House to commemorate releases. This weekend, Halsey is partnering with Moment House to celebrate the release of her album If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power with a one-night-only global performance.

Nothing is off limits, from culture to race to politics, delivered with absolutely no filter. As pointed out by Engadget, “there’s a big drawback to Soundtrap if you’re planning on also publishing on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or another podcasting service. Soundtrap won’t generate an RSS feed for each episode, which you will need to publish your podcast outside of Spotify.” That feels on brand. It earns revenue by taking a small commission on each ticket sold to cover payment processing and production costs. Yes, Moment House offers native iOS and Android event apps for creating, promoting, and hosting events on the go.

No one inside the home was injured, and Newport Beach Police Department officials said in a press release later Tuesday morning that there are no outstanding suspects. By the time officers arrived at the scene, they observed an armed man suffering from gunshot wounds lying on the ground outside the home. A quiet upscale neighborhood in Newport Beach was shaken by a targeted home invasion early Tuesday morning, police confirmed. A history of the movement by EarthDay.org, where Hayes remains board chair emeritus, says the date of the first Earth Day — April 22, 1970 — was chosen because it fell on a weekday between spring break and final exams and the aim was to attract as many students as possible.

Lest anyone think that the entertainment livestream revolution is a product of the pandemic that will taper off as soon as quarantining does, Moment House CEO and co-founder Arjun Mehta has the language to describe what’s happening in the space. Tonight's Tame Impala live show is another signature music event, but the company is looking to move into comedy and expand its reach into underserved genres like metal and hip-hop, too. House Appropriations ranking member Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., called the change a “seismic shift” that would block funding for YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs and other critical community programs. After months of stalling, the US House of Representatives finally approved more than $61bn worth of military assistance to help Ukraine in its desperate defence against Russia, as well as billions for other allies including Israel and Taiwan.

The use of large numbers of heavily armed law enforcement officers to arrest student activists advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza represents a troubling suppression of these rights,” Shah said in a statement. “Their actions have escalated to the point of confrontation and have threatened the safety of our officers and campus community,” Guzman said. The demonstrations led to confrontations between police officers, state troopers and students. A total of four people lived in the home, including one juvenile, police indicated, later stating that they were all safely evacuated with no injuries.

Hundreds of students have been camping on the university lawn, sparking a nationwide wave of campus protests. It’s an election year, public figures were already getting rowdy on podcasts, and Trump seemed like the exact person who’d make headlines at this intersection — it actually already happened, in fact, in an abrupt exit from an NPR interview that I noted a few months back. After all, the outcome would be far different than it was for the other Young on Spotify.

Building Hype and Promoting Your Event

Members of Mythical Society — Rhett & Link’s subscription service — will have early access to buy tickets starting Wednesday, July 13, at 3 a.m. It gives vital support to America’s partners and they — so they can defend themselves against threats to their sovereignty and to the lives and freedom of their citizens. And it’s an investment in our own security, because when our allies are stronger — and I want to make this point again and again — when our allies are stronger, we are stronger. I just signed into law the national security package that was passed by the House of Representatives this weekend and by the Senate yesterday. The long-awaited vote on a critical $61 billion (£49 billion) aid package comes as Kyiv faces a weapons shortage in its fight against Russia. His audiences are some of the most diverse among any working comedian, with fans vying to sit in the front rows of his shows to experience his merciless and masterful crowd work.

The funding announced today (Aug. 26) was led by Forerunner Ventures, with participation from a range of venture capital firms, executives and musicians who have worked with the company. The platform encourages artists to avoid filming their Moment on a stage or in front of an audience to offer viewers an exclusive, online-only cinematic experience. Fans can also interact with each other via a live chat, engage in artist Q&As and VIP meet-and-greets post-performance. Yes, you can re-run replays of events at new times, or offer recordings as exclusive experiences fans can purchase after live events end. Other executive announcements represent key entertainment niches ripe for livestream growth. Bart Coleman, previously a comedy lead at Spotify, is the new head of comedy, North America.

It’s an annual event founded by people who hoped to stir activism to clean up and preserve a planet that is now home to some 8 billion humans and assorted trillions of other organisms. Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, unveiled the package earlier this week amid increasing pressure from other congressional leaders and the White House to hold a vote on a similar $95 billion package that passed the Senate in February. The Senate package has sat idle in the House for months as the speaker debated a path forward, and as he has faced threats from a small number of Republicans, who oppose sending more aid to Ukraine and want border measures, to hold a vote on dethroning him. The House voted overwhelmingly to approve the aid bill for allies in the Indo-Pacific in a 385 to 34 vote, with one member voting present, along with the aid for Israel, with a 366 to 58 vote.

Moment House, a platform that lets creators offer exclusive digital events to fans, has closed a $12 million Series A funding round. “Moment House is empowering artists to deliver digital experiences that feel authentic and compelling,” said artist Jared Leto, who participated in the round. Exclusive fan experiences like album premieres, meet and greets with creators, masterclasses, behind-the-scenes, fan clubs. Moment House provides a platform for creators to host premium digital experiences for their biggest fans and followers.

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday called for the resignation of school President Minouche Shafik, while pro-Palestinian student protesters are demanding Columbia cut all financial ties with Israel. Soon after, police found another suspect in a patch of bushes across the street from the home; this suspect was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, law enforcement officials said. More broadly, it’s seen as the birth of the modern environmental movement. But many groups use the day to put together volunteer events with the environment in mind, such as cleanups of natural areas.

But it was a senator from Wisconsin, Democrat Gaylord Nelson, who had the idea that would become Earth Day. Nelson had long been concerned about the environment when a massive offshore oil spill sent millions of gallons onto the Southern California coast in 1969. Nelson, after touring the spill site, had the idea of doing a national “teach-in” on the environment, similar to teach-ins being held on some college campuses at the time to oppose the war in Vietnam. Johnson has stood behind his decision to bring up Ukraine aid for a vote. Citing classified briefings he's received, Johnson called the aid "critically important" in pushing back on Russian aggression.

The speaker said separating the bills would allow members to vote their "conscience" on each one. In the next few hours — literally, the few hours — we’re going to begin sending in equipment to Ukraine for air defense; munitions for artillery, for rocket systems; and armored vehicles. Trump's hush-money trial began Monday with opening statements - here is your key takeaway from the day. Dozens of student protesters have been arrested at Columbia, Yale and New York University in recent days. In the podcast realm, Schulz's wildly popular show, Flagrant, is viewed by 2 million devout fans per week. He also co-hosts Brilliant Idiots with radio & television personality, Charlamagne tha God.

In a bipartisan vote, 210 Democrats and 101 Republicans joined to support Ukraine, with 112 Republicans – a majority of the GOP members – voting against. It came after the Republican speaker, Mike Johnson, forced a series of bills onto the floor in the face of fierce resistance within his own Republican party, many of whom oppose spending more on Ukraine’s defence. “In a democratic society, the right to peacefully protest and express dissenting opinions is fundamental.
