Open Music Europe Podcast

Welcome to the Open Music Europe Podcast — a series exploring the future of music in Europe. Guided by conversations curated by Mark Adam Harold, each episode features a special guest who helps unpack how we can build a music ecosystem that’s more competitive, fair, and sustainable. From cultural policy to live music, from war zones to venue data, these are the voices shaping the sound of tomorrow. This is Open Music Europe — let’s dive in.
First Episode with James Rhys Edwards

In our debut episode, host Mark Adam Harold sits down with Dr. James Rhys Edwards, the project director of OpenMusE, to discuss how data, metadata, and technology are reshaping the music landscape. From the impact of COVID-19 on local music scenes to the challenges of fair compensation in the streaming era, we dive deep into what it takes to build music ecosystems that are truly competitive, fair and sustainable.
