The new ROLLING STONE podcast about the people in the music industry

Is vinyl overrated? How diverse is the music industry really today? And can music change something in society? ROLLING STONE’s inside talk with the decision-makers, the label bosses and the organizers about topics that move them and the scene starts on March 14th.

The new podcast is called “Was mit Musik” and is about people who do “something with music”. More precisely: by the people in the music industry. Social media boss Hella Wittenberg and editor-in-chief Sebastian Zabel talk to them about the shortage of vinyl and streaming remuneration, tour disasters and surprise successes, diversity and sustainability, backstage stories and favorite records.

Guest in the first season:

Christopher Ellinghaus

The boss of the indie label City Slang talks to us about the magic of discovery and development – and about the joy when a band like Lambchop is suddenly on everyone’s lips. He shares what it was like touring with Nirvana, signing deals with Courtney Love and opening your own starred eatery.

Anne Haffmans

The manager of the British label Domino Records in Germany explains why the industry still has a lot to do in terms of diversity and how much she misses concerts, why she is still the “Muddi” for Depeche Mode fans and why in Julia Holter she is the Patti Smith of a new generation sees.

Ulf Zick

From the Managing Director at Universal Music, who will soon be taking on a new role elsewhere, we wanted to know what it’s like working with Billie Eilish and meeting Campino in the garage, how much streaming has changed the music economy and if music is still alive today can change society.
