Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 30 ratings
  • This show is unedited

    It’s ironic a show by content gate-keepers demanding broadcast ready material don’t properly produce a podcast. Far too often I’m wondering why we’re hearing connection problems or horrible music playback. Mostly it’s host navel gazing.

    Taxi is refunding Subscription money... Is it going out of Business? Is Taxi going under? Seems they have horrible customer service.... spend way too much on these Michael talks where he is the center of it all and don't have any good web programming... Broadjam is eating their lunch...

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Music Licensing Myths and Misconceptions—What’s Actually True_[081726]
Q: How many submissions does Taxi get for each listing?
There is no fixed quota; submissions vary by genre, but screeners evaluate quality and brief-fit, not quantity, and forward only those that meet the brief and quality bar.

Q: How long should a cue be, and how flexible should you be with timing?
Two minutes is a solid default; if a library asks for 90 seconds, aim for that, but don't hesitate to extend slightly if it serves the cue's musical logic, while ensuring it remains usable for editors.

Q: What role does the pre-chorus play in syncing music to commercials?
The pre-chorus often serves as a build that leads into the hook, creating a sense of anticipation and making it easier for editors to drop the track into various cuts while maintaining impact and brand alignment.

Q: Can you explain the difference between a button ending and a stinger?
A button ending is a short, definitive end like a period; a stinger is a longer, more emphatic end like an exclamation and usually lasts longer.

Q: What makes a cue more usable for editors in production music?
Include clear edit points, multiple energy levels, and a flexible structure with distinct sections and endings so editors can cut to fit different scenes.
