Les mer Music, Money & Mayhem

EMI was once home to some of the biggest names in pop, the crown jewels of British music from the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Queen, to Coldplay, Kate Bush and Radiohead, and surfing the wave of Brit Pop in the 1990s. As a new millennium dawns, internet piracy and file sharing capsize the entire record industry. EMI is sold to a city Mogul named Guy Hands. Better known for turning around German motorway toilets than running a record label, his arrival triggers an all out war between the forces of money and art, as the one of London’s feistiest financiers struggles to save Britain’s coolest company. Music, Money and Mayhem is a Novel production for BBC Studios, the BBC’s commercial subsidiary

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
