If you know me (or a few of the other contributors and friends) you probably already read this. If not, then keep scrolling down.

I'm working on starting a podcast series for this website. The goal of said podcast is to provide exposure for local artists because: A) There are some really incredible bands working the LA scene these days; B) Said incredible LA bands seem to be pushed aside in favor of more coverage for Nicole Richie and everyone she has ever dated; C) I love radio.

So here's the plan. The first podcast is, at this point, scheduled to go online at the end of March. Once a month, the old pod will disappear and a new one will rise in its place. Any band that is featured on the pod will be listed with a link to its website and a link to the site where one can purchase said band's CDs, MP3s or other related merch.

That said, if you are in a band and think I might like your stuff (read previous posts herein for references), contact me. There is no set genre for the show. Good music is good music. However, you must be local. By local, I mean your band must be based in one of the following counties: Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernadino. If you plead a good case (like you are from Santa Barbara but you play LA every other weekend), I might extend the boundaries a bit.

There is no guarantee that everything sent to me will be played, but I will contact anyone who submits something and let you know what I think. MP3s and hard copies are okay.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
