The Trouble with Tunes – approaches to using music in podcasts (Podcast Movement 2019)

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Gordon Firemark • 1 Comment

Thursday afternoon, I'll be presenting my talk at Podcast Movement in Orlando. I'll be outlining the various ways in which music can be used by podcasters, where the music may come from, and the complex web of copyright and licensing issues that have historically made using commercial music both difficult and costly. Then, I'll sound the call for a simpler approach, and reflect briefly on some promising new developments in the space. There will be ample time for questions from the podcasters in attendance.

Can't make it to Orlando? Stay tunes, I'll post a video of my presentation in the days that come.

Here’s a slideshare.
