The best new music of 2025!

What a debut year it's been for Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast. We've listened to 1000s of amazing music submissions over the last year and featured 100s of our favourite tracks on the podcast.

For this special episode, Producer Ant has been let out of his usually securely locked sound booth to chat to Jim about some of the highlights from the first year of this music discovery podcast.

Get stuck in and hear some of the brilliant moments you may have missed and, if that leaves you wanting more, then these past episodes are a great place to start:

Finn Power from Stone Emergency Episode.

Dutch Mustard, Lukey B and Poesie.

Spangled, Spin Klass, Jay Tennant and Alright.

Make sure you are following this podcast and also make sure you are following our brand new social channels... @SqueezedCast on X, Instagram and TikTok - also a great place to start your music submission.

'Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast' is written, researched and hosted by Jim Salveson. Additional sound design and production support from Ant McGinley. The show's theme tune 'Blue Blazer' is from Manchester's Spin Klass.
