Summary: Every week we see, or hear from, artists who are trying to build a buzz for their new single online. Or, otherwise, are frustrated that radio isn't showing interest in their music until they get action through social media. We offer three things you can do 'right now' to help engage fans and build interest online, as well as five factors to look for in any strategy you come up with yourself! Radio Dale is the podcast about music, musicians and the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices. We help bring indie and established acts to radio, and spread the word online, as well as develop their careers in today's ever-changing music business. This podcast gives away some of our best information for free, and serves as the 'radio show' that broadcast the ideas, observations and insights we discover every day working with Canadian and International artists.
