Incredibly, the Music Ally Podcast has limped its way to 100 editions. Joining us for this monumental centenary (and to review the year) are Ben Drury of 7digital and Cliff Fluet of Lewis-Silkin. Among the topics they kick around the park with regular “hosts” Eamonn Forde and Stuart Dredge are: the arrival of Apple Music and if it went off like a Catherine Wheel or a damp squib; what Tidal is or isn’t doing right under new ownership; what the PRS lawsuit against SoundCloud will mean for licensing; the “war” on freemium; and what the bally hell blockchain is. Once again, thanks to Sonos Studios for giving us a room to record it in that means it doesn’t sound like a skeleton brushing its teeth with a hammer in a well.
