We’ve come a long way from the days when we browsed the shelves of HMV and Sam Goody or asked the record store dude what albums to buy. Radio play and late night talk shows still connect artists to new fans, but these are quickly becoming the old way to find new stuff.
Beatseeker explores the changing world of music discovery. While there are plenty of podcasts about new music, Beatseeker digs into the ways people find new artists and their songs - and the ways they find us.
From record store gurus and the Hot 100 to today’s high-tech playlist algorithms and viral TikToks, Hosted by Matt McButter & Mike Weider, Beatseeker is in development, launching in 2021. Join us each week for in-depth discussions with artists, technologists and industry insiders as we explore the past, present and future of music discovery.
