Keep It Brief – Concert Safety

Summary

Hi everybody! After the horrible events that occurred at Astroworld, your hosts Hunter and Erica thought that it would be imperative to bring up the topic of public safety! As it relates to concerts we can see alleged problems with logistics as well as past behaviors that may have contributed to the mass casualty event of Astroworld 2021. Hopefully after this conversation we may be able to see some new pathways for change to our public safety system to ensure that such an event never happens again. Thank you all for tuning in and we will see you on Thursday for a Keep It BRI!
