Then we speculate wildly about the future of the genre. But it’s not all films and hot takes. We also go behind the curtain of Sean’s career, exploring his path as a music journalist, his podcast adventures, and how we know him without being creepy. As Walk the Line wisely reminds us: “Sometimes you have to do what’s best for you.” — advice that works for musicians, biopics, and podcasters alike. For more of Sean’s music insights, check out his podcast What Song - https://open.spotify.com/show/664FoTBkhGNaeWudxBLUul?si=96dfa53d98d9421a and explore his journalism work here - https://shorturl.at/BjE0B What's your favourite and least favourite music biopic?
