Billion is the New Platinum
After WWII, record companies measured success by granting artists Gold, Platinum, or Diamond records. Today is different. No one buys physical music much anymore so the goal is no longer a precious metal. It is a Billion. A Billion streams. A Billion views. It is only a thousand millions. A thousand platinum records. Joe Burns, Head of Communication and Media Studies, will explain by sharing a little easy math – all you need to be able to do is count to a Billion.

This lecture places West Florida’s Revolution into the broader context of the Spanish Empire and Atlantic World.

Non-lethal candy will be gently thrown at the conclusion of the lecture.
