From the Hip with Benjy Mudie

Music industry veteran Benjy Mudie does a deep dive into what makes the music world tick.

From interviews with leading artists, songwriters, publishers, radio DJs, label insiders, and producers, to stories from nearly 50 years in music. Sometimes funny, and often irreverent and controversial.

He'll take you inside the backrooms and the back stages of the South African music industry. The concerts, the parties, the politics, the hedonism, the highs and lows of a headlong career.

Along the way, Benjy passes along advice on how to chart the stormy and ever-changing landscape of the modern music business.

It's from the hip podcasting brought to you exclusively by Solid Gold Podcasts.
