Introducing the Backstage Pass Podcast

This issue is completely different. And a sign of things to come, because we're now committed to doing podcasts. We'll start out with them being part of the AMP. Where they'll end up... Who knows.

New Music Lives is focused on the success of our Singer Songwriters. You are the stars. Not us. We had to overcome that well-reasoned reluctance to finally get into podcasting.

Especially with this first one as it features NML's founder Paul Saunders. And Paul is beyond shy of the spotlight. So, it took a bit of... let's call it 'influencing' for him to allow us to focus on Paul. But...

It's important for you all to know the source of New Music Lives— the teenage pirate radio DJ from the UK who started all this. Who Paul is— head and heart, high tech and higher touch— and how NML has come about. And most importantly for you, where we're taking you.

Give a listen. Long, but not too. One hour plus a few.

In This Issue... You'll Get...

The 1st Backstage Pass Podcast

Our own John Fogg interviews your own Paul Saunders, founder of New Music Lives.
