  • Episode 8 - Sex & Country Music
    2020/07/10

    In episode 8 we start be exploring the use of sex in selling country music, specifically women. Are they being exploited or is it actually just playing into the hands of men?

    From there we move to Facebook, Spotify & social media in general. Do the quantity of 'likes' or 'follows' matter or is it the quality? Do people follow or like based on an image, rather than the music?

    As always we mange to talk about food and theres some chaos, lets be honest, it wouldn't be Charlotte and Simon if it were all sensible, would it?

    As is always the way, we manage to squeeze food and drink into the podcast!

    This was recorded on Tuesday 23rd June and we recieved a review on Thursday evening/Friday morning which we also wanted to address, so there is additional content after the first ending jingle!

  • Episode 6 - Country Music in the UK, Amateur or Professional?
    2020/06/19

    Snorkers, Oatcakes and well, more than likely controversy!


    Our journey continues as we talk about country music in the UK and discuss what's right, wrong and indifferent from our perspective.

    In this episode we ask, is the country music scene in the UK taken seriously or seen as a cosy club? That's this week's question and we are sure it will raise a few eyebrows and undoubtedly create some difference of opinion.

    We don't set out to upset or offend anyone, these are our thoughts and we, as always, welcome feedback! If you have something to say regarding anything spoken about in this episode please email (ONLY) aintgoindownpodcast@gmail.com and we will read every response out in the next episode/s.
