Description
Each week on The Apollo Audio Podcast, Martin Lumsden and Billy Hills chat about what’s been catching their attention across the music and entertainment industries from industry news and cultural moments to creativity, production, and the realities of making music as working artists. Each episode we also feature a recommended listening section, where they discuss current releases and classic albums, breaking down what stands out, what resonates, and whether they think it’s worth your time.
The Apollo Audio Podcast offers insight into how Martin and Billy think about songs, records, and the creative process, drawn from real-world experience in studios and as working musicians.
