The FM Podcast

The topic of this week’s show is a roundup of social media + digital marketing tips and trends for musicians. And joining me on the show are 2 ladies who’ve been on the show before - Danielle McNeill + Phoenix Bain from The Social Circle.
Danielle, Phoenix and I have worked together on many social media + digital marketing projects here at Fritz Media and we’ve definitely learned a lot over the last couple of years, and we thought it would be great to share some of that wisdom with you.

Oh and just a quick note that this episode is the final episode for Season 2! We'll be taking a short break but will be back in March with more music industry wisdom for you!

The topic of this week’s show is Release Planning and Strategy and joining me on the show is artist manager Jeff Ojeda from Phase Management.
Jeff and I had a great discussion about the best ways to plan and release your new album or new single or new video or whatever you're releasing! And there’s definitely a lot of great tips, so if you’re an artist with new music but don’t know where to start when it comes to releasing it - this is the show for you.
It was a really great chat and I hope you enjoy it!

The topic of this week’s show is The Power of Community and joining me on the show is Leonard Podolak who is the Executive Director of Home Routes.

We had an great conversation about how Home Routes has helped to create communities for musicians across Canada over the last 15th years, how things have shifted for them with the pandemic, and we also discuss the Home Routes 15th Anniversary Tour which wraps up this Friday with a virtual show in Winnipeg featuring Del Barber, Double The Trouble and Bobby Dove.

The topic of this week’s show is CARVING OUT YOUR OWN SPACE and joining me on the show is Toronto musician Sandra Bouza.

Sandra and I had a great chat about how it can be hard to find your place in the music industry when you don’t fit into one specific genre. And how she decided to carve out her own space by SPOILER ALERT: just being herself.
I really felt a connection with Sandra on a lot of her experiences, you know just by being a woman in the music industry, so it's a great conversation and I think you’ll really like this one!
Oh and just a quick note that this episode is the final episode for Season 4. I’ll be taking a short break but I’ll be back soon with even more music industry wisdom for you!

Welcome to Season 3 of the podcast! We're so excited to be back!

For our Season 3 premiere we’ve got a good one for you! I'm talking to Adam Bentley who is a music publicist and the owner of Auteur Research, and we’re talking all about the state of music publicity in 2022. We had a really great conversation which I’m sure you can tell judging by the length of this episode. It’s always nice to talk to someone who does the same thing as you do because you can totally speak the same language and commiserate about the same things!
It was a great talk and I hope you enjoy it!
