In the second episode of A Zoom With A View, Sammy, Cliff and Stuart are joined by their first guests this series!

Mark Davyd and Beverley Whitrick, CEO and strategic director respectively of the UK's Music Venue Trust talk about their work supporting independent music venues during the Covid-19 shutdown, while James Ainscough, CEO of Help Musicians gives us the latest on its campaign to support musicians. All three have lessons to share on what worked well in their respective campaigns, and what more the music industry can do to help out.

Meanwhile, Sammy, Cliff and Stuart also discuss two of the week's topical industry stories: the launch of a parliamentary inquiry into the economics of streaming in the UK; and Spotify's new 'shows with music' podcasts format.
