Starting A Record Label Podcas

Definitely Encouraged Help Me!

I had a plan to start a record label way back in 2013 and kept putting it aside. But this year I'm on a journey to start my own and I'm even journaling it on my "Starting a Record Label" podcast. To be honest I don't think I would have without this podcast. It's a definite encouragement to those looking to start their own. Keep it up Scott!
Sean Williamson, Blight writer

Way fun. Way helpful.

As a musician (former touring musician) I find this pod fun and uplifting. Hearing so many creative funny people talk about this thing that makes them tick is inspiring, to say the least. Also if you are looking to start your own record label, look no further. All the info you need is right here. Love it!

Love learning about these indie labels and the artists they represent. This podcast deserves a lot more attention!

Love the Interviews!

thanks for interviewing my favorite label owners about their labels! it's such a mystery how these folks stay in business :) it is also amazing that bands start labels and DO BOTH, or when they put their own music aside to work for others, blows my mind! I'm not there yet, but I find it fascinating.

Much needed

So glad this podcast exists. Independent artists and label-types will find something of value—some tidbit, insight, anecdote—in every episode.
