It’s Episode 69 (nice!) I’ve got a ton to share with you. I’m bringing you fresh indie tracks from five awesome artists— one which will be my Pick of the Week. In music news, I’ll break down the FTC’s lawsuit against a ticket reseller accused of exploiting Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, and I’ll explain BMI’s landmark settlement that (hopefully) means higher radio royalties for songwriters and publishers. I’ll also take you through some big music history moments—from the birth of hip-hop to Beatles milestones—share a marketing tip to help you protect your fans’ data, and of course talk about the wild Las Vegas story now being called “Beibergate.” What happened? Listen and find out!

It’s Episode 68! This week I dive into a packed episode full of music news, and indie gems. I kick things off with a personal update (smoky skies and chili cookoffs, anyone?), then the headlines: Dropkick Murphys pull out of Punk in the Park over political donations, TikTok launches new tools to boost songwriter visibility, and Amazon shakes up its podcasting division—again. Plus, I have a marketing tip for musicians, spotlight five standout indie tracks including Rachael Plays Guitar, The Kowalskis, and Martin Moran, and wrap it all up with some good news from the world of YouTube philanthropy. Whether you're here for the music, the marketing, or the scene energy— I have something for you.

It’s Episode 67! I have returned after a short break with updates on some new collaborations, including work with a local business incubator and the Greater Gardner Chamber of Commerce. I have some thoughts on the value of showing up in person.

In music news, I talk about the surprising resurgence of rock in the streaming era, the latest on FireAid’s $100 million wildfire relief efforts, and the backlash over Paul McCartney’s sky-high ticket prices.

You’ll also hear fresh tracks from Ghost Moone, Paper Foxes, The Chelsea Curve, Valerie Newman, and an exclusive early release from Painting Fences. Plus, I have a new “Pick of the Week” segment- which artist will it be?

Stick around for this week’s music marketing tip, a powerful safety innovation in our good news segment, and why I say it’s time to pay indie artists like you do local restaurants.
