4.0 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.

  • Going Under? Taxi cancels subscriptions

    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... Seems time to ask for your money back...

What Nashville Is REALLY Looking For in Country Songs (Right Now)_[041326]
Q: Is it better to send multiple songs or one at a time to a publisher or producer?
Send targeted material that represents you well; flooding with too many items can backfire, so focus on quality and the strongest fit with the contact's listening style.
What Nashville Is REALLY Looking For in Country Songs (Right Now)_[041326]
Q: How many people typically need to hear a song before it gets cut?
Often a committee approach is used, with A&R, management, producers, radio, and others weighing in; it can take several key votes before a track is selected, and a strong champion can tip the balance.
