Aaaaand we’re back! This week we dive into industry plants, nepotism in the music industry, with a cheeky side of Maneskin for the stans down the back! From Rita Ora to a bitta Billie, we look at what an industry plant is, why they seem to be such a hot topic, and why it’s OK to think that industry plants make iconic bops.

We are FINALLY on Apple Podcasts, so if you do have an Apple device please rate review and subscribe to keep up to date with the latest shite talk! And of course you can find us on Instagram and Twitter at @ChatShitPod or at @ChatShiiPod on TikTok.

Very excited to be back! Catch you all next week!
