Stream/watch 'Like a Ghost' by my band, The Last Martyr, here: https://ffm.to/thelastmartyr_likeaghost

This week I'm chatting with Bennett Ferguson who runs Marshall Street Recording & Rehearsal Studios here in Melbourne, Australia. We talk about how he documented the studio build on Instagram and one of the engineers, Stu Watts also pops into the podcast to give bands advice on how to create their own home recording setup on a budget.  We also touch on social media as Bennett is also a social media marketer for the music industry.  Get amongst it!
