Welcome back to another episode from the squad. This week we open up with a real heart to heart on how we’re feeling with the current lockdown, sharing ways in which we’ve try to combat the stress and anxiety!

We then discuss DJ Tiiny and his recent issues with the BBC 1Xtra following accusations of the DJ attempting to request payola for upcoming acts.

Finally, we move into our final segment a discussion on the education of musicians. Do we feel as though there should be bodies in place to education our upcoming artists on the music business? Does the world of music owe artists the level of visibility into the business to maximise their earning potential? We touch on the work of charities such as the Arts Council and PRS Foundation and its offerings to those of traditional music labels.
