The Last Safe Space a straight-talking, data-driven podcast from Music Venue Trust. Each episode breaks down the biggest news affecting the UK’s grassroots music venues - from government policy to local wins, campaigns, crisis cases, and how you can take action to support live music.
In this episode, Sean Adams, founder of the pioneering online music publication Drowned in Sound, joins Toni for a conversation about the role of independent journalism in shaping grassroots music culture. From its beginnings as a late-90s newsletter to becoming one of the most influential music communities of the early internet era, Drowned in Sound helped launch artists, writers and entire scenes.
