This the first ever episode of Social Media, What?! Each episode your hosts, Graeme of ITRadio and Ian of StudioZeroSeven, will cover different topics and how they impact with Social Media… even if they don’t always know what they are talking about. This week Graeme and Ian cover the basics of this new project, and how music and Social Media have become integrated by people like you.
