  • Interesting Guests and Great Pacing.

    I love the pacing of this podcast. And the guest selection is perfection. Matt also has some of the most interesting sounding ads in the genre, and I like that the ads are the ads, and the rest of the show isn’t just a veiled pitch for his services(most other shows in the genre are). My only wish for this show would be for Matt to intro the episodes in a more natural voice. His interview tone and pace are so good, but the intros sound forced and a little too V/O Guy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chris Brunt: Radio's Digital Evolution
Q: How far back does your experience with digital go, and what early moments shaped your view of online radio?
It goes back about 30 years, with early web pages, streaming tests, and the realization that the internet would eventually redefine audience reach and monetization, even if initial reactions undervalued it.
Bryan Barletta: Podcast Movement is Coming!
Q: What should creators and businesses be thinking about as they consider attending Podcast Movement?
Creators should consider submitting panels through the open portal, engaging with the community to learn and network, and leveraging the event to grow their audience and partnerships; businesses should focus on meeting creators and the people behind the microphone to understand how to support their growth and the overall ecosystem.
Bryan Barletta: Podcast Movement is Coming!
Q: Why is New York chosen as the hub for Podcast Movement and Sounds Profitable in the coming year?
New York is chosen to provide easy access for buyers and to bring together the core community in a city with abundant access points and networking possibilities, allowing a more flexible, creator-friendly experience without the logistical constraints of a fixed hotel location.
Jason Rockman: And Rockman IS his real name
Q: Tell me about how Slaves on Dope came together and when it all started.
The band formed in the early 90s in Montreal, playing their first show around 1992-1993. They avoided fitting neatly into prevailing trends, drawn to bands like Faith No More and Jane's Addiction, which made them less radio-friendly but helped build a dedicated following through live performance and CHOM L'Esprit exposure.
Anthony McNutt: The Art Of Radio Imaging
Q: What's your workday like and how do you manage it?
A typical day starts with prep the night before, then morning show promos and station-specific tasks, with constant meetings and new scripts to voice and produce; the key is prioritizing, communicating, and keeping everything flowing so that voices can be swapped in quickly when needed.
