  • So informative

    I am super excited I found this podcast as an independent artist it’s a pretty lonely road! So getting information from the business side has made my music Career much stronger! I am working on my second album and it’s great to know how the other side of things truly work!

  • Very insightful

    I've learned about a lot of subjects from BTS moving to Sony to Astroworld and more. Could you make them longer though? They end too quick for me

  • I'm in the business and this is good

    So much nonsense talked about the music business by those who don't understand it. MBW understands it and generally speaking these podcasts are interesting and you will learn from them.
