Great addition

As a massive music fan I know very little of the financial side of the industry so this series is an interesting listen every episode.

BowesR ,

A must-listen for any music fan!

Only two episodes in and it’s clear to see this is going to be an absolutely essential listen for this who like to dig deeper into the machinations (and injustices) of the music industry. The two hosts also lay what could be dry and complicated subjects in an easy to digest way.
