Starting out this new month with my first interview on the show! I've known Max Frost and his music for a decade now, and it was wonderful to catch up with him in his new home of Nashville. We talk about why he moved there from LA and Texas, and his new single The Ghost and upcoming EP. Then we get into it and talk about what it's like for today's musicians making music now, and the effect social media and specifically TikTok have helped and can hurt artists too. I sprinkle a few of Max's songs throughout! Enjoy!

Episode 2! I've already decided we need more music on this show, but the plan is to stay around an hour for show time. Appreciate all the amazing support and messages from everyone about my "grand" return! This episode covers music news, another marketing tip, and I'm bringing back another segment from the Phoenix radio past...

Hello friends!
My "radio silence" is ending! December 8 is an obscure "holiday" called Take It In The Ear Day, and it seemed appropriate to use the day to announce my new podcast- Scene Mom Says!
For those who don't know me- welcome! For those who do- welcome back! Take a listen and get all the details about my new show premiering next month, along with a song from Ali A and the Agency that is very special to me.
