It's my show and even I agree with him hahaha

Hope you guys like it, it's all bands that I either have a personal connection with or just have really blown me away with their live performances. I could safely say these are some of the best bands I've seen live. Here's a tracklist and where to buy the band's merch:

1. Math The Band - Four to Six (new 7")

Hahaha, amazing! Kevin is such a good dude, super nice and friendly, and they put on such a fun show. They actually keep a bucket on stage nowadays wherever they tour as him barfing is not a really uncommon thing to occur, LOL. They actually stayed at my buddy's house in santa cruz when they rolled through town and I got to hang out with them and they are really good people. I especially can't wait for their new album to drop!

On a more OP related note, I'm really enjoying everyone's shows, great job all around. Thinking of making another one once I get more time on my hands.

Good question, has anyone been listening to them?

I can do one this weekend. I started making one that had like 5 "The ...." bands so I just decided to make an episode of all bands like that. The Bronx, The Giraffes, etc. I also made a "Walking Dead" themed one, all music that reminds me of the Walking Dead.

For whatever reason I find it much easier to do when I have a theme, regardless of how stupid said theme may be.

Podcasts are a lot like albums/movies/tv shows; people tend to go out of their way to post something negative rather than positive. We get a few hundred plays every month so nobody is really 'pissing in the wind.'

I can usually tell who is sharing their episodes via social networks and what not because the RSS based feed numbers spike.

I could get some promo spots on uber popular podcasts like The Mediocre Show and Keith And The Girl but it's definitely not cheap and since this is pretty DIY I'd hope everyone involved can pitch in a little "Hey check this out friends!" Status update every so often.

It's sort of a weird podcast to promote. It's ostensible purpose is music discovery but since the forum has members with varied tastes it doesn't actually serve that function really well. I'd imagine some people really like some shows and really dislike others, so repeat traffic is going to be harder to come by.

I think you're right, promo spots are a bit of a waste unless you're going to develop a more structured and cohesive format. Until then, just seems like more of an amusement for anyone who wants to participate.

Seeing that this section of the forum doesn't even get much traffic, interest doesn't seem super high. Which is sort of a shame, I'd like to hear more from other members.
