Somewhere in the music industry, between 'sex drugs and rock and roll' and The Wiggles, is the rest of us. 'Music Mothers and Others' is an audio parents group -a chance to discuss how parenting fits (or doesn't) into music industry life. During the series we'll talk to people from across the industry - artists, promotors, techs, broadcasters, writers, academics, teachers - anyone who has a gig in 'industry', whatever that means.

Hosts Liz Giuffre and Shelley Brunt are industry veterans, academics and parents - as well as members of the broader village. For more see us at https://musicmothersandothers.com/ and of course at 2SER FM, https://2ser.com/
