I have been contemplating starting a podcast for a while, even before the current pandemic outbreak. I have been holding off primarily because it is out of my comfort zone. I have finally decided to give it a try. So, this first episode is a pilot and if it goes well, we may make this a regular thing.
Right now, it is just me, but if I keep this going, I would like to have guests, such as socially conscious music artists or music journalists or historians. Also, future episodes will most likely focus on specific themes. Being a music podcast, it would also be nice to feature music, but I do not want to use any music without having permission. If anyone would like to be featured on the podcast or have their music featured feel free to contact me.
The first episode is mostly an introduction explaining the objectives of the podcast and this website. It also discusses how Bandcamp waives its revenue share during the first Friday of every month. In connections with this, a few recommendations are discussed.
Snotty Nose Rez Kids – entire discography worth checking out, but they recently released the EP Born Deadly which I recently reviewed on the website. Their 2019 album Trapline was one of the best albums of 2019.
Haven’t decided yet if it qualifies as a protest album, but it has the perfect vibe for self quarantining.
Margo Price – Perfectly Imperfect at The Ryman
Margo Price also is taken preorders for her upcoming album That’s How Rumors Get Started. Her exceptional 2017 album All American Made was one of the best protest albums of 2017.
Moor Mother – Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes
This was one of the best albums of 2019. She has also recently been involved in a couple of other projects which are highly recommended.
Irreversible Entanglements – Who Sent You?
Stay safe and thanks for listening.
