    I’ve worked in all areas of music touring, indies, major labels, pr and my own company for two decades and lately artists have pointed to this podcast and a lot of the advice is inaccurate and not entirely positive for their career. Anyone who presents advice with the words ‘I think’ before it are not working in fact. There is some good info sitting in there mostly around content creation but I’ve listen to about 12 episodes and would take it with a grain of salt.

  • It was fun until you started namedropping Lewis Capaldi in every single episode as he was the biggest musician ever.

    Such a good podcast, they get top guys in and interview them for up to date strategy on music promotion. No messing around/no ads either as far as I’m aware? Have a listen if you’re trying to promote yourself!
