Some of you may have heard my podcast It's Not About The Gear that is now on @cast.garden. I started this years ago, but have been erratic in producing episodes. I do have some plans for it, but time is a limiting factor. Getting some contributions helps me build a more entertaining show that is not just me rabbiting on.
I was listening to some other podcasts today and an idea came to me. I have long thought that Hive is an ideal platform for musicians who lack the massive following you need to make serious money elsewhere online. If you can get a few fans on board they will support your posts as well as earning for themselves. There is potential to use HBD to sell tickets and merchandise.
My idea is to showcase some Hive musicians on the podcast. If you can send me some audio where you talk about what Hive does for you I will include one of your tracks on the show. Your audio should be up to three minutes. You should say who you are, what sort of music you make and how you are using Hive. If you send that audio to me along with a track you would like featured I will have an incentive to get recording.
You can send me files via email or Discord. I am steevc on Gmail and Discord.
Some people I would like to hear from include @stickupboys, @soundlegion, @ravenmus1c, @nupulse and @ugochill. I am thinking more of those who produce and market their music rather than those just posting videos for things like the Open Mic contest, but I would like to get a range of views.
I know Hive has some rough edges, but the user experience has improved over the years with tools like Keychain. We have 3speak to host videos, CastGarden for podcasts, microblogging on LeoFinance and Ecency. You can create a rich social media presence with these.
Who is up for it?
