Welcome to the very first episode of Letting The Days Go By, the podcast that speaks to the people working behind the music.

For episode one, we're joined by Lydia Laws, founder of Lydia Laws PR. In May 2026, Lydia celebrated ten years of running her own PR company, working with some of the biggest names in electronic and dance music. She's worked with artists including Sasha, Charlotte de Witte, and Blondish, championed environmental causes through music, and built a business entirely on her own terms.

In this conversation, Lydia talks about how she went from working in a coffee shop and writing reviews for a local website to running her own PR company. She talks about what a pitch actually looks like from the inside, how to manage client expectations from day one, what the job costs you personally, and why — after ten years — there are still moments that genuinely surprise her.

She also talks about eating granola in the Heathrow BA lounge with Carl Cox. Which tells you something about the life.

For anyone thinking about working in music PR — or the music industry more broadly — this is an honest, funny, and genuinely useful conversation with someone who has done it the hard way and built something worth celebrating.
