Last year, Solstice took ownership of The New Daily. This month it took control of Schwartz Media's 7am podcast. And this week Solstice took a majority stake in Australian Traveller Media.In truth, the expansion of Solstice - which now has 87 staff - has been more organic. Solstice started life as the publisher of South Australian newspaper The Independent Weekly, before taking on News Corp in Adelaide with InDaily.Solstice's national footprint grew when it was hired by some of Australia's industry super funds to launch the New Daily more than a decade ago, and recently bought the masthead from the funds.In the wide ranging conversation, Hamra discusses his shareholder base of impact investors, and tries to avoid answering how much he paid for Australian Traveller. He explains: “The reason why we liked Australian Traveller is because of the cultural fit, that we were like-minded in terms of our attitude towards publishing, our attitudes towards independence and quality.”The intention for the company's lifestyle publications is to help fund its journalism: “If you look over history, you'll see that in any media outlet, it's not the news that funds the business. It's actually other verticals that have funded the business.“Hamra is also refreshingly honest about the post-rationalisation many publishers go through when they build their businesses. “We end up growing a little bit like Topsy until we fall into a strategy. And that's kind of what's happened to us. We actually had an audience and we bolted things onto that audience over time. And then 15, 16 years down the track, you go, oh, hang on… all of a sudden we've got this fabulous audience and we've actually got a strategy.”Solstice had been a beneficiary of Facebook funding, and had to make redundancies when it dried up. Like all publishers, Hamra also has a view on the unavoidable need to do business with platforms like Google, and a more sceptical view on whether the government really wants to help Australia's media owners:“They sound desperate to help, but the reality is we know they're not because they would have done something by now. If they were as concerned about the media as they say they are, something would have happened by now.More from Mumbrella…* Clock ticking for loss-making Aspermont* Union boss slams News Corp's use of AI in newsrooms* On the road again: Compass event series dates announced* Opinion: Marketing measurement is having a moment, but can it deliver?* ‘Callous and punitive': Rosie Waterland launches own podcast network after battle with SCA* Dr Mumbo: Is Youtube social media?

This week for episode twenty-one we explore the uniquely named Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh, NC from Sept. 8-11th. Hopscotch Music Festival features local, national, and international bands in a variety of genres — rock, hip-hop, metal, dance, punk, alt-country, classical, noise, drone, folk and more. More than 130 acts play in multiple venues within a walkable footprint in downtown Raleigh, with artists performing on an outdoor main stage and in many local clubs. It was founded by Greg Lowenhagen while he was an employee at the Independent Weekly,[1] a locally owned alternative weekly newspaper and media company. Also this week we preview lesser known artists we feel you should go see at festivals; we discover the amazing works of: Car Seat Headrest @CarSeatHeadrest carseatheadrest.bandcamp.com The Dead Tongues @thedeadtongues thedeadtongues.com Kooley High @KooleyHigh kooleyhigh.com

Music journalist Eric Tullis joins us this week to discuss the changes in hip hop journalism, best way for artists to get discovered, and one artist he has an eye on. This is a great episode for up and coming artists and hip hop heads. Eric's work has been featured in many publications ranging from Independent Weekly, Fader, Noisey, SPIN, Shuffle, and more. You can find his work here (https://erictullis.contently.com/) and follow him on twitter at @EricTullis. Listen Live to DJ RJ Who (@ryanjoneswho) on station Party 934 on the TuneIn app, every Wednesday night from 7-9 PM EST. All raps, beat submissions, spam, and requests can be sent to slightworkradio@828mgmt.com

I'll admit this Crizzlecast isn't one of the better-recorded ones I've done. First off, I did it at the Dunkin' Donuts next to the strip club again. Secondly, there were some loud-ass old people who apparently wanted to make it known this is THEIR Dunkin' Donuts and felt the need to talk as loud as they possibly could. (Unfortunately, I wasn't drunk, so I didn't tell them to shut their asses up!) Nevertheless, I managed to have a nice convo with Corbie Hill, contributing writer to the Independent Weekly, Creative Loafing Charlotte and other publications as well as guitarist for the band Alpha Cop. We talk about how he juggles writing about music with doing music, along with being a family man.  But, bottom line, I'm not doing a podcast over at that Dunkin' Donuts next to the strip club again.

For the next two weeks, Muhf***as I Know will be talking to journalists about the politics of the journalism business. And, for today's Crizzlecast, I'll be speaking to someone who's been dealing with a lot of journalism business these past few weeks. Independent Weekly editor (and kind of my boss) Lisa Sorg will be discussing the North Carolina alt-weekly's future now that it's been bought by another paper. We also talk about how she became top dog at the Indy, as well as her philosophies on life, marriage and the best way to deal with sciatica. She also gives me a nice writing assignment. By the way, for this episode, the podcast is called Muhf***ettes I Know. Just listen and you'll find out why.

September 3 was the Friday before Hopscotch Music Festival, and I was joined by Grayson Currin, music editor of the Independent Weekly who was also Hopscotch Curator. Hopscotch is the biggest music event to ever happen in Raleigh, so I dedicated the entire three hours of the show to chatting with Grayson about everything associated with the festival. Caitlin Cary (Small Ponds, Tres Chicas), Reid Johnson (Schooner), and Brian Corum (Lonnie Walker) also came on the show, and Reid and Brian played some brand new tunes (which you can download here). What ended up happening was three hours of a fascinating, entertaining conversation with insight into Hopscotch.

First in was Betsy Harris, one of the most notable and certainly the most prolific local music photographers in the area.  Betsy was a fantastic guest who shared plenty about her role in the local music community, her work as a photographer, and several fun stories about her experiences in the past several years. Be sure to check out Betsy's Fotki and Youtube for some sweet local multimedia content. Karen Mann of Mann's World also joined me on the show for about an hour.  Karen is one of the most prominent, if not the most prominent, local music blogger in our area and having her on the program was a special treat. Karen and I talked about her history in the area and her role within the music of our region. Karen was a fabulous interviewee and had plenty to say, all of it proving to be noteworthy and captivating about her dedication to the music and her blog. Karen is also having a special Mann's World day party during Hopscotch on September 11th. Check out the flyer below:One of my favorite journalists in the area, Bryan Reed, made an appearance as well. Bryan is well known for his contributions to Shuffle Magazine where he is Assistant Editor and also the Independent Weekly where he covers local and national music. He was fun, witty, and full of knowledge on music scenes outside the Triangle region.Linnie Green, the new editor of Diversions at the Daily Tar Heel, got quite a bit of crap from me for going to NC State's rival school, but after I settled down and matured a little, she gave us some interesting insight into how Diversions works and what priorities they have with local music.The mastermind behind NBC 17's Music.MyNC was also a guest that evening. Jake is another extraordinary blogger in the area and also heads the live Sessions for Music.MyNC. I talked with Jake about how the Sessions came to be what it is and his thoughts about his contributions to the music.

Alex Iglehart and Wylie Pamplin of Calico Haunts came in at 7 p.m. for their first-ever radio interview to promote their first show in Raleigh since 2007, which was at the Berkely Cafe Saturday evening. We also debuted some brand new songs from their upcoming record that is scheduled to be released in October this year. Many of you might be familiar with Calico Haunts last release After All, which was one of The Independent Weekly's albums of the month last year. Unfortunately, the band dissolved shortly after the release and little promotion was done for the record. A short time later the band was pieced back together and they started recording a follow up album only to have their work stolen two weeks before it was scheduled to be finished. With all of these mishaps you might think the band would throw in the towel. Listen below for their side of the story and their reactions.

This week: Matt Saldana from the Independent Weekly discusses Monday night's controversial Board of County Commissioners meeting and the ongoing battle over Jordan Lake. Barry and Kevin are also joined by Sara Lachenman of Trinity Design/Build, who talks about historic preservation in Durham, including the upcoming Morehead Hill home tour presented by Preservation Durham (May 2, 10a-6p.)

Josh Parker fills in for Kevin Davis. Barry Ragininterviews Lisa Sorg, editor of the Independent Weekly, about the threatened closure of the Wright Center for Re-Education, a statewide program for troubled youth located in Durham. Josh and Barry discuss the issues of the day.
