So the for the last several weeks, I have been fighting a battle. And it’s not against coronavirus.
By the way. STAY AT HOME! COVID-19 is not a joke or hoax! There. I’m done my PSA for a time.
Anyway, my battle has been with Spotify who I both love and hate.
I have loved the way they initially were a disrupter to the stodgy old record industry, going right at all the old gate keepers preventing many talented folks from reaching new and larger audiences.
I have come to hate that they are now in league with those same record companies and have become gate keepers themselves.
They removed my podcast from their platform under the accusation that I was distributing my music. It’s not like they don’t sale ads against my (and everyone else’s) podcasts to those who are on the free side of Spotify.
So unfortunately, for the foreseeable future there will NOT be any BSB podcasts on that platform. Thankfully, if you are also on Google or Apple, they continue to appear there.
I also am going to be starting a Mixcloud Select account soon as well. Under Select, there will be, as the name suggests, exclusive content and early content not be had or had before it may appear elsewhere. Stay tuned for those details.
Thank you all, who tuned in on Spotify to my podcast and mix show. I hope to be providing you more mixtape eargam pleasure on these other platforms!
