Mikey & Marcus chop it up with Ben Lee, back from the USA to play Sunset Sounds and soon to release I'm Fun.

Longer episode this week as Ben was so generous with the conversation.

He hits the ground running!

 

This Episode!
The complexities of TikTok helping the local music industry while also being an ethically questionable corporation
We chart the history of the t-shirt & whether it’s OK to wear a band’s print at their gigs (genre specific)
Finally, let's dive into Lee’s chaotic & enduring career.

 

Coming subscription *doubletake!!

For 12 weeks we've been doing a regular episode and a bonus episode.

To keep this up and make sure we can bring you more great shows we're starting subscription access. Not just yet.

For $4 per month (30 trial for only $1) you get the bonus episode, ad-free shows from Mushroom, early access to new shows and anything else we can get our hands on.

You'll still be able to hear all the regular episodes from Mushroom shows. We love that you're in the big tent with us.

We'll have more info about it on the show and online soon.
