ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Making Music While The World Falls Apart is a podcast about art, ambition, and keeping going when the world feels like chaos. Join Malcolm McCaffery and Ash Murdica as they talk music, creative projects, big ideas, and the realities of building an artistic life in regional Victoria and beyond. From lifting standards of community music in Gippsland to dreams of pit playing in the London West End, this is a candid, passionate, and maybe entertaining conversation about making music no matter what is happening around you.
