It’s the final episode of season 2! Alfie and Fionnán are on a ‘last day of school before the summer holidays’ vibe and to switch it up a bit, Fionnán wants to grill Alfie for a change as they reflect on series 2 and the state of the music industry.

Fionnán gives us more tips from the studio and tells us about what he plans get up to during the break from the podcast.

Alfie is going on tour as a solo artist for the first time and is telling us all about that but this episode is really all about you!

It’s the penultimate episode of series 2 and It’s been a busy week for Alfie and Fionnán! This week it’s all about Promo.

Alfie has been on national TV and radio promoting the podcast and his debut single. Whilst being interviewed isn’t new for Alfie, it is his first time doing it solo! He tells us all about how different this trip was compared to the Hudson Taylor days, how this week of promo came about and shares his advice on how to conduct yourself in interviews and on promo days.

Fionnán has just applied for Ireland Music Week! He has been busy gigging and has a new found confidence on stage. Now he has a few gigs under his belt and has finessed his on-stage setup, he has great tips and reflections for fellow new artists.

Finally, the lads want to hear from you! What do you want to hear in the finale episode of the series? Send us your requests, comments and questions in a voice note (we love those!) or a message over on Instagram.

This weeks episode is all about artists making change with their music and their platforms.

Every Irish act has pulled out of SXSW in solidarity with Palestine after learning that the U.S Army are super sponsors of the event.

We believe that weapons of mass destruction and music don’t go together. So we’re gonna talk about it!

The lads discuss how important it is to stand up for what you believe, whilst also considering the financial, logistic and social implications for artists after making such a big decision.

Alfie and Fionnán have many questions this episode: Where have all the protest singers gone? Will Israel be banned from Eurovision just like Russia? Where the fuck is Bono?
