Studies show that a middle-class person is four times more likely than a working class one to work in the creative industries. Economic privilege plays a huge role, but barriers are also thrown up by industry gatekeeping. This piece delves into how the very system within the music business limits access.

Reclaiming The Muse (podcast)
This podcast explores the history of the female nude in Western art. Once, it was perceived almost exclusively through the male gaze – damsel in distress, the Virgin Mary, the perfect pin-up. Lucy Snell examines how women’s bodies have been depicted by art and how this affects everything from social media culture to medical textbooks. Featuring conversations with Goldsmiths’ artist Kylie Marume and insights from Catherine McCormack, author of ‘Women in the Picture.’
