It’s been quite a while since my good friend/ radio & music industry legend @walsh8009 and I first discussed launching a music industry podcast.

Well, now @the_money_trench (named after the infamous Hunter S Thompson misquote about the music business) is finally here: a brand new, weekly podcast about the most exciting industry on the planet, presented by me and exec produced by Mike.

Every Monday, we’ll round up the week’s big industry stories and then take a deep dive into the career of one of the industry’s most interesting and influential executives. There will also be a weekly newsletter, which you can sign up for on the website.

Our first episode will “drop” on Monday June 24 and I’d love it if you’d give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

We hope TMT will join the other great music industry podcasts out there – my favourites include Tim Ingham’s The MBW Podcast, @variety ‘s Strictly Business and @steve_lamacq & @stuartdredge ‘s The Price Of Music – in becoming an essential part of your music industry week.

Huge thanks, of course, go to Mike for finally getting this over the line; to our sponsor @ppl_uk for their backing; our amazing production partners @tapenotes (check out their brilliant podcast if you haven’t already); the excellent team of @nickboberts and @ailsaharper at @aimlessplay (who come highly recommended for any socials and campaigns work you might need); the PR gurus at @fourthpillarco ; @sennheiser for some top gear; the awesome @tomasmithmusic for the theme music; and @neilvestrini at @junkheadstudio for designing the uber-cool TMT logo.

Thanks also to the execs who helped us out with pilot episodes and everyone who’s already agreed to come on and chat in the coming weeks.

Please let Mike and I know any further suggestions for guests (yes, you can put yourself forward!) or stories we should be covering, and hopefully see you all soon…

What a @rosalia.vt show at The O2 last night. Opera meets ballet meets theatre meets carnival meets club culture, faultlessly delivered by a Madonna/Beyonce-level superstar who somehow still seems like she’d be a laugh down the pub. And a Cara Delevingne ‘confession’ cameo. En pointe and on point throughout. Asombrosa!

As a musician herself, BPI chair @yolandabrown is well aware of the impact that AI-generated music could have on creatives and the music industry. At a live episode as part of the @bpi_music’s ‘In Tune With Tomorrow’ event at Liverpool Sound City, YolanDa tells TMT that it’s important to look at the full picture when it comes to the technology…

As a musician, broadcaster and chair of the BPI, @yolandabrown is a passionate advocate of arts education. At a live episode as part of the @bpi_music’s ‘In Tune With Tomorrow’ event at Liverpool Sound City, YolanDa tells TMT that it’s vital that music is taught in every school across the UK…

This week’s podcast was recorded live in front of an appreciative crowd at the @bpi_music’s ‘In Tune With Tomorrow’ programme at @soundcityplus. Our guest is BPI chair, musician and broadcaster – amongst many other things – @yolandabrown. YolanDa is a remarkable character and brought her unique energy as we talked about everything from AI and streaming remuneration to music education and why you should never rely on a backing track when you’re playing a Valentine’s Day gig! Tune in!

YTL Live creative director Miles Leonard signed many top artists in his A&R career at labels such as Virgin, Roadrunner, Parlophone and Warner Records. But he also missed out on a few – and he tells TMT about his regret over not giving Oasis a second look after Noel Gallagher joined the band…

Miles Leonard now works in the live business as creative director at YTL Live, which is launching the new independent Aviva Arena in Bristol. But he previously had a storied label career, signing and working with countless top artists. Here, he tells TMT about relaunching Kylie Minogue’s pop career while he was at Parlophone…

The happiest of birthdays to the one and only Joe Sutherland, somehow no longer a teenager but still the most ‘goated’ son imaginable. Thanks for keeping Pompey up (they play much better when he’s there) and have a great day, we love you…

The Other Songs was one of the first record labels to offer non-performing songwriters master points on releases. However, not many other companies have followed suit – and TOS co-founder/CEO Alastair Webber tells TMT that the change will have to be endorsed by senior leadership at major companies if it’s going to become standard practice…

As co-founder and CEO of The Other Songs, Alastair Webber runs one of the UK’s leading independent companies across records and publishing. And he tells TMT that, despite huge changes in the landscape, indies can definitely still compete with majors…
