For fans of music and the story behind it. Musicians pick apart the method in making one of their hit songs, showcasing the early demos and individual parts that led to the finished product. Hosted by Owen Denvir. Releasing music can sometimes feel like the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Musical labours of love that you fuss and tinker t
o "perfection" commonly get lost after release under the infinite, transient nature of the internet. There's always an "iceberg" to every track you make, only afforded the exposure of 1 paragraph on a press release, or a 280 character tweet. Every 3 minute single has a much deeper story to it - for every artist - and THAT'S where Friends With Future Hits comes in. Every Tuesday I share an interview with a different music-maker to hear their step-by-step story of how they made one of their songs. Each episode is interwoven with isolated parts and early demos that help paint the process of how they do "their thing", before their track is played in full at the end: framed in full context by everything the artist wants to say about it.

The podcast is 100% independently run, so even if you could spare Β£1 a month, that would go a long way to keep things running! I pay to host the episodes on Podbean, but the interviews, mixing and editing only cost the time I can find and spare to do them π
I'm hoping long-term that the podcast can be a resource for musicians to simplify the mysteries around recording and releasing music. It also gives an opportunity for artists to tell the complete story behind their tracks, and spotlight their talent and passion for their craft π
I'd really appreciate any support you could give!
Thanks!
