My guest this week is Joe Brent, founder of Adhyâropa Records.

So many of the guests I've had on the podcast have released their albums through Adhyâropa and I was fascinated to find out more about the label.

We talk about why Joe set up the label in the first place, the reasons why it's almost impossible for musicians to make a living today, how Adhyâropa is trying to change that and why, in the end, it's just about helping people put out good music.

There's so much to learn in this one, whether you're a musician trying to navigate building a career or, like me, you're a fan who wants to understand how musicians get paid and what we can do to support our favourite artists.

There's something in this episode for everyone.

I loved this conversation - I hope you enjoy it too.
