tpf.podcast

had a great day at pop factory!...my proposal for a podcast for tpf records was approved last week, and this morning huw (my new boss), jen long (xpress radio station manager) and myself had a meeting to discuss the in's and out's of content, distribution and technical wotnots

the idea is to launch a fortnightly 45-minute fanzine-format show for the welsh music scene, covering everything from the established acts to emerging groups in the indie/alternative/rock scene, with track playbacks, interviews and competitions

with the tragic demise of soundnation magazine a few months ago, there's a gap in the market begging to be filled. considering that huw was instrumental in the creation of the welsh music foundation and soundnation, we're in a unique position to develop something that has good chances of success. part of the reasoning behind soundnation's downfall was rising costs, so what better than a virtually production-cost free audio show to take it's place?

fingers and toes crossed

as a director for tpf records, huw will provide branding and industry contacts; jen's experience at xpress and love for radio and music has effectively landed her her own show straight out of uni; and me? i get to play techie and general dogsbod...uh, web evangelist....

i'm also developing a site for tpf records, getting to do the information architect bit, with pretty much a free reign to coordinate the project over the next few months

i'm *really* looking forward to working on this. we plan to launch april 24th. 4 weeks time. watch this space!!
