Nine years ago, Sara Migaj decided to create WLKM (An organization that protects artists' rights and makes people aware of how to purchase music legally). Initially, it was only Sara, but now the team counts five people and grows continually. Opening social media profiles was the first step to making the idea real, and it didn't take much time to make WLKM one of the leading organizations in Poland. They also started doing interviews with artists from around the world and put them on the website. Currently, the team publishes daily news connected with the music industry, reviews, and reports from the events. Their main mission is to convince people how important it's for artists that fans go to concerts and buy merch and CDs. In the fifth episode, "Unpacking the News" hosted by Damian Dolny, you will hear more about how to purchase music legally, the best ways to support artists, and how the industry can look in the future.Connect with us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coverbydamianInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coverbydamianfm/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coverbydamianLoved this episode?Support the show

Last week we talked about Eurovision. As we know, Ukraine won this year's song contest, the UK took second place, and Spain finished third. However, the biggest surprise of the grand finale was that Poland ended at the bottom of the left side with only 46 points from the jury. We also had a controversial situation during the second semi-final when European Broadcast Union decided to cancel jury results of six participating countries after a voting anomaly was identified.
