Andy Muschett · Aug 2024

Just finished blazing through the first 58 episodes, love this podcast! As a newer producer/DJ this is such a good resource for understanding how the business side of music works. Lots of inspirational stories from the artists interviewed as well. Once you hear enough of these stories you understand we all have similar struggles as artists and can learn a ton from each others’ experiences.
