This week, we're joined by MD of Good Seed PR - Linda Coogan Byrne. In a report published in June, Linda uncovered a glaring disparity between male and female artists featured on Irish and UK radio stations. Not only did most Irish radio stations commonly feature just one Irish female artist in their top twenty most-played tracks, but the most played female act was also the only black artist featured in the entire report: Soulé. We chat to Linda about her findings and what's next for her campaign.

To raise awareness of this bias, Linda has launched a GoFundMe campaign for 'Why Not Her?': https://www.gofundme.com/f/why-not-her
