This episode mainly delves into an early radio opportunity in my career that was difficult to capitalize on due to circumstances beyond our control at the time and how that relates to current times for young independent artists.
You will hear excerpts that are from an NPR radio broadcast from many years ago so the sound quality in those portions will be noticeably of lesser quality but we believe the content is worth it. Thanks for listening.
As always, songs mentioned, Coming of Age, Not Long For This World and Wounded Heart are available on all streaming platforms.
