Podcast NYC: Musicians and Podcasting Part I

This is a special podcast where I talk to directly to musicians about the importance of musicians utilizing podcasting for their benefit. The podcast will be separated into two parts. Part I (this podcast) explains why it's important for musicians to get involved and start their own podcasts. I talk about my experiences as a young musician over a decade ago. I talk about the opportunities provided by this new technology, and I also give a frank speech about the economics of the music industry. Run time on the podcast is 28:26.

In Part II I will talk about how musicians can utilize podcasting (and associated technologies) to their benefit. I will follow that with a step by step explanation of how a musician can easily get their podcasts published to the internet. I will conclude with a short discussion on how to get the word out about the podcast to current fans and other podcasters.

My hope is that after listening to these podcasts, musicians will:

• Have a better understanding of the importance of podcasting as it relates to their careers.
• Understand how they can use podcasting to their benefit.
• Have the knowledge to be able to start an artist promotion podcast right away.
• Understand how to create awareness for their podcast withing their existing fan base and the podcasting community.
