Music Podcast Sampler

Ola,

Music is still a thorny subject when conjoined with the term 'podcast'. Copyright infringement is a constant worry - in some countries more then others. Here in the UK it's still a thorny issue but that has not stopped the UK podosphere producing some superb music podcasts and in particular new music features prominently alongside record label, magazine and venue podcasts extending their work and using podcasts to promote the music.

Here's a sampler



Here is a list of what I've included:

1st - The Weekender - BBC Northamptonshires new music podcast, a must listen!

2nd - Bjork's video casts (audio extract) promoting her album Volta

3rd - Folkcast - Lancashire's best folk music podcast

4th - Chrisitan McBride's excellent podcasts giving background to his music

5th - Slash Music - Tom Ravenscroft's new music podcast for C4 Radio

6th - Coldcut's Solid Steel - podcasting Coldcuts mixes and cuts and other bits and pieces from the Ninja Tunes label locker

7th - Ronnie Scott's very slick podcast featuring artists performing at this legendary London venue

The Penniless Podcasters hit Northamptonshire

On May 19th 2007 we head to Northampton to partake in a training day organised the hub.

We are really looking forward to meeting with Northampton's finest in the worlds of music creation, curating and promotion. We will post an entry on how this session went and any valuable insights into podcasting that we picked up as we have as much to learn as we do to teach.
