Ever wondered how the songs are picked to soundtrack your favourite television shows? Music supervisor, Ciara Elwis, joins Annie and Nick to talk about working with PJ Harvey, curating endless playlists and the lengths she’s gone to to get a song cleared. Elsewhere, it’s been a good week for new music - Ethel Cain’s new album has prompted both confusion and admiration while Bad Bunny’s has made the whole world cry. Plus, Mac Miller has a new posthumous release, the government are proposing a cap on the cost of resale tickets and TikTok is being banned in America – but what does it mean for the music industry?
