Tue, 16 Mar 2021 - 7 - 7. Patreon / Recurring Income Streams with Tyler Bancroft
So it’s now officially a full year since we’ve been living with the COVID pandemic + it obviously has had a very detrimental effect on the music industry.

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 - 6 - 6. The State of Music Journalism with Mike Devlin
When I started working as a publicist in the music industry, my job was a lot different that it is now. When I started, there were fewer outlets to pitch for coverage because music blogs were barely a thing AND there were local music writers at nearly every print newspaper across Canada. Which is crazy to think about now, but that's how it was. And out of all of those journalists that I used to call up on the phone, there are not very many that are still working in the industry in the s...
