In this special episode, Jermaine sits down with Oliver Schusser, Apple’s Vice President of Apple Music and Beats, to celebrate over a decade of Apple Music and its impact on the global music industry.
From launching iTunes internationally during one of the most disruptive periods in music history, to shaping Apple Music into a platform built for artists and fans, Oliver shares a rare behind-the-scenes look at how Apple has continuously redefined the way we experience music.
The conversation explores the philosophy that sets Apple Music apart: a commitment to human curation, cultural connection, and putting artists at the centre of every decision. Oliver reflects on the importance of making technology feel simple, the intention behind Apple Music Radio, and why Apple has always prioritised quality over quantity.
Jermaine also dives into the future of sound, unpacking innovations like Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio, and how Apple is creating more immersive, emotional listening experiences than ever before.
The episode takes a personal turn as Jermaine shares how Apple Music Radio inspired his own journey into broadcasting. A full-circle moment that highlights the real-world impact of the platform.
Plus, Oliver gives insight into the exciting new collaboration between Beats and Nike, and how both brands continue to shape culture at the intersection of music, sport and technology.

Louis Tomlinson joins me on the Jermaine Plane to chat about his new album "How Did I Get Here?" and his upcoming tour kicking off in March.
In this conversation, Louis opens up about recording in Costa Rica, why stepping away from the usual pressure helped him create his most confident work yet, and how his single "Lemonade" captures that rock 2000s essence. He also gets real about his relationship with fans, describing them as teammates who've been fighting alongside him for over a decade, uncertain beginnings to sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden.
Plus, we take a trip down memory lane discussing his high school days playing Danny Zuko in Grease, his obsession with Green Day, and the life-changing moment he experienced at Leeds Festival at age 16.
This album was written from a happier place, and you can hear it in every note. Louis reflects on how far he's come and reminds fans to take pride in what they've built together.

Tyra Banks joins Jermaine for a deeply personal conversation about why the spotlight was never her true passion and why legacy now matters more than fame.
She opens up about launching Smize and Dream in Australia, the pressure of starting again in a new country, her determination not to be the “ugly American,” and the fear, chaos, and humility that come with building something from the ground up.
Tyra shares her vision for giving back through an ice cream school for underserved communities and explains why she created Hot Ice Cream as a way to help ice cream businesses survive winter and protect livelihoods.
At the heart of the episode is a powerful reflection on her mother’s sacrifices, the values that shaped her, and the message Tyra would give back to the woman who taught her to dream, work hard, and lift others along the way.
