The first-ever Haulix podcast, Inside Music, is saying farewell after more than two hundred episodes exploring life in the modern entertainment business.

Haulix.com has announced the end of Inside Music, its first-ever podcast series. The show’s final episode featuring musical guest Rivers Of Nihil debuted online at the end of September 2021.

“Creating Inside Music was my first attempt at podcasting. I didn’t know what I was doing at the time, but thanks to patient guests and trusting leadership, we found our way to great conversations that I will always cherish.”

– James Shotwell, Inside Music host.

The Inside Music Podcast launched as a Haulix production in 2014 to help people better understand the lives of music professionals, both on stage and off. Across the show’s more than 200 episodes, guests included everyone from platinum-selling rapper Jack Harlow to iconic producer Butch Vig. Additional guests have included BABYMETAL, Celldweller, Bryan Garris (Knocked Loose), Tilian Pearson (Dance Gavin Dance), Phil Bozeman (Whitechapel), among hundreds more.

A full statement from the Inside Music Podcast team reads as follows:

Inside Music began as a desire to see what was possible with the podcasting medium. Over seven years and hundreds of conversations, you helped us build a tiny community of curious music consumers that kept us passionate about our creation.

It is hard to pinpoint when we knew it was time for the show to end, but we believe some things in life you just know. We wrestled with whether or not to push for another milestone. After all, episode 250 or 300 isn’t that far away, but we can’t convince ourselves to create something we’ve internally laid to rest. 

Don’t worry, however, because we have many more wonderful productions on the horizon. You can currently hear our team’s collaborative efforts on High Notes, the music industry’s leading recovery podcast. We have additional programming planned for 2022, but we can’t talk about it yet.

To everyone who ever gave us an hour of conversation or thirty seconds of listening—thank you. We will never forget this time in our lives, and thanks to the internet, the show will live on. Every episode will be available to stream anywhere you get podcasts for as long as possible.
