Behind every artist's public success lies a less visible story of hustle and side gigs. 101 Part Time Jobs with Giles Bidder digs into that reality, offering conversations that feel more like a backstage chat than a formal interview. Host Giles Bidder, from Mighty Moon Media, sits down with musicians and creators to talk about the grit required to sustain a creative life. These discussions move beyond the music itself to explore the resilience and practical work ethic that fuel artists in a notoriously unpredictable industry. You’ll hear how they navigate the constant shifts, balancing passion with pragmatism to keep making art. The guest list speaks to the show's eclectic and compelling range, featuring voices from IDLES and KNEECAP to Blossoms, Denzel Curry, Self Esteem, and Tim Heidecker, alongside conversations with The Last Dinner Party, Lauren Mayberry, and Crowded House. Each episode of this podcast uncovers the personal drive and sometimes unconventional jobs that allow the show to literally go on. It’s a candid look at culture and society through the lens of artistic survival, celebrating the determination found in music’s most compelling figures. Tune in for honest stories about the hustle behind the harmony.
