The official YouTube channel of 101 Part Time Jobs with Giles Bidder

The podcast sees Giles Bidder (the i, Soho Radio) host engaging conversations with diverse musicians, exploring the taboo topic of how musical artists make a living. The often surprising jobs they’ve had is a prism through which to explore the grit and perseverance it can take for our favourite musicians to ensure that the show can go on, in the face of an increasingly difficult industry to make a career in.

The British music industry contributed £4 Billion into the UK economy in 2022. However, there are only 6,000 working musicians in the UK; and nearly half earn less than £14,000 a year. In this podcast celebrating DIY and grassroots culture, Bidder asks headlining and emerging artists the questions that nobody else is asking, creating a space where musicians can be vulnerable.

Over 300 guests have appeared on the podcast, including IDLES, Self Esteem, Big Thief, Kurt Vile and many more.
