TheIndustry.biz Podcast on Hiatus.. Should we continue?

imagesThere is SO much that we could have talked about this week on the TheIndustry.biz Podcast. The changes at Unviersal, Frankie Knuckles, The Breakfast Club Radio Show's premiere nationwide and This is Hot 97. Damn I miss doing the show…. We had a great amount of fun doing the TheIndustry.biz Podcast too. This is a radio show for the industry about the industry and we spoke for many who can't speak for themselves on various topics and issues. Before I put the show on hiatus,we were getting offers for interesting guests from the industry to talk about the industry on an even more profound level and I wanted to continue. I am confident this show would be huge by this time next year with your support. We got a TON of great feedback and wanted to continue but it's very costly and time consuming. I was literally doing everything myself, recording, editing, uploading etc. Here is our most recent show (below) . In total, the show got a total of 140,000 plus listens worldwide.  I would like to continue the show and charge a fee of $2.99 per month for four episodes each month but I want to be sure we have the interest from the industry. While I am sure MOST of the interest for the show comes from people outside the scope who are interested in the industry, the industry is our target first. If you would like for us to continue the broadcast weekly make a donation in any amount by clicking the PayPal link. I'm talking especially to all the people who told us how much they loved the show and beyond… we certainly appreciate your compliments but would love to see a donations to continue.  If we make just $500.00 in donations by Friday, I can hire an part time editor and we will continue.  The TheIndustry.biz Podcast was a very unique industry show and as one record label VP told me this week, "We need this for the industry and those coming into it." Now's the time to act folks…. Make a donation (on the right sidebar) and help us... help the industry.The rest of the shows are HERE
