SAMC Panel

Who’s Still Telling the Story of Music? Public Radio, Independent Curation & Journalism’s Last Holdouts

17 Oct 2025 | 13:00 | SoLeft Hall
As streaming platforms flatten context and algorithms replace editors, who’s still in the business of telling music’s stories—not just pushing it? This panel brings together public broadcasters, radio curators, and longform writers who still believe in nuance, backstory, and the unglamorous but essential work of curation.

We’ll talk about the changing function of radio in Europe, the collapse of legacy media, and why some stories are never told unless someone insists they matter.

Moderator:

Nick Sabev (DJ & Record Label Owner, Druzhba Records)
