The Music Biz 101 & More Podcast

Music Biz 101 & More is the only radio show in America that focuses on the business side of the music & entertainment worlds. Hosted by William Paterson University's Dr. Stephen Marcone & Professor David Kirk Philp, the show airs live each Wednesday at 11pm on WPSC-FM, Brave New Radio. In this episode, you'll hear an amazing interview with Paul Bacher, talent buyer (the person who books bands) at Brooklyn Bowl in New York. He talks all about who he deals with when booking, how the deals are structured, and why some bands might sell out but not be worth booking a second time. There's a lot to digest, so grab a notebook and pencil, snack out of your Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox, and listen as hard as you can. Intro song: "Hurts Like Hell" by Gina Royale.

In this episode, you'll hear an amazing interview with David Haskell, who's a big, fancy human at Gateway Studios, a facility near St. Louis that provides touring artists with practice facilities before going on the road. Now, these artists are not the garage band, the band that gets read for show's in Mom & Dad's basement. Gateway is gigantic and exists for the club artist, the arena artist, the stadium artist. The discussion delves deep into the production of a show, how stadium shows are "built" and organized (think of all of the trucks, the massive load in and load out)... This will be one you'll listen to a few times because it's so packed with good stuff. Intro song: "Hurts Like Hell" by Gina Royale. Exit song: "Lover" by TimaLikesMusic. Like what you hear?
