ABOUT

Music Industry Insights Worldwide is a global podcast exploring how the music industry really works and how it can work better.

Hosted by Saskhia Menendez, the podcast brings together artists, executives, policymakers, activists, and creative leaders from across the world to unpack the realities of today’s music and entertainment industries. Through honest, in-depth conversations, the show examines power, access, equity, sustainability, and the lived experiences of those navigating the industry at every level.

Each episode goes beyond surface-level success stories, shining a light on systemic barriers, underrepresented voices, and the practical knowledge needed to build fairer, safer, and more inclusive creative industries. Topics range from artist development, touring, publishing, and monetisation, to diversity, mental health, gender equity, and trans and non-binary inclusion on a global scale.

Music Industry Insights Worldwide is a platform for learning, accountability, and change — connecting communities, sharing real-world insights, and amplifying voices shaping the future of music worldwide.
