Does Podcasting Help Sell Music?

Today we play a clip from the Rock and Roll Geek Show (which is now the longest running podcast as Adam Curry has quit producing the Daily Source Code). Michael is the original music podcaster. Today we listen to Michael read an email from one of his listeners who explains how she purchased some music after she heard it on his podcast.

There was a part of this email that I edited out as they talked about who was in the band, etc. Here the listener is asking Michael because he is seen as an expert when it comes to Rock Music. He has a huge amount of knowledge of musicians, bands, and rock music.

Michael was one of the original guests of the Power of Podcasting. You can hear that episode where his fans pay to have him fly to London.

Radio is NOT Podcasting

I was approached by a company about starting a podcast where the target audience is college students. I explained how I use to do a podcast for students called “Quiet Study Area” that had soft non distracting music to study by, and study tips. The site (ugly and simple) is still there, and I went and check my stats at Mevio and was surprised that even though the Podcast “podfaded” in October 2009, I am still getting 2000+ downloads (and this month isn’t over).

This is why creating “evergreen” content (when possible) is important.
