Independent music, industry news, interviews and more with your host Dani Cutler. New shows every Thursday! Dani worked in independent radio for over 16 years in Phoenix, AZ supporting local and independent artists, and was deemed ”Scene Mom” by the community. Since then she has made the move to Massachusetts but will be a cheerleader for indie artists no matter where she lives.

It's Episode 78! Live shows are booming and indie buzz is real. This week, I break down the TikTok Podcast move, the latest Spotify “Discovery Mode” drama, and why small venues still matter- plus a handful of fresh tracks from rising artists. I've got your music history with a few classics, the Marketing Tip keeps it real (don’t chase trends, build fans), and we end with some good news for your heart: art really does help you breathe easier. Tune in and support your local scene.
