David Renshaw joins us on the pod and this one's a HUGE deep dive into music journalism.

The Fader's UK News Editor has been covering music for over a decade, working his way up from student papers in Liverpool through Gigwise and NME. He gets 300-400 emails a day but how many of these pitches are worth the time?

We dive into what actually makes him want to write about something, why three-star reviews are pointless, and how the economics of online journalism are...screwed? David gives us the lowdown on finding stories that nobody else is covering, why streaming made music a "secondary activity", and the common mistakes people make when trying to get coverage.
