Think of this week's episode as a soft-sequel to last week's episode; you don't need the background material, but it might make it more fun to go Easter Egg hunting.

As we consider the flute world and the next superstar to ascend the Throne, this episode take's a look at the unique challenges they may face. From social media, to streaming, the cost of living crisis and the new breed of crossover artists, I round it up by using French violinist Esther Abrami as the new Gold Standard for modern classical musicians.
