Updates

I just went through every page on the website and updated some things that needed to be updated. Not too much was updated, just little things that could turn into big things. We are still looking for more submissions, as our listener base is growing. We have three dedicated listeners from all over the world and many more listeners popping in and out through any given day. The listeners are there, so we need to entertain them.

We are now looking to add specialty shows. You can talk about almost anything that would be interesting to a listener. Just record it in .mp3 format and send it on over to indieradionashville@gmail.com. We will get it on the air within 24 hours!

Downtime

The radio has been down for about a week now. I have been busy with college and life events but I am working hard to get it back on the air. Since the computer's Windows updated it messed everything up and it will no longer connect to the server. I hope to figure this out within the next week! Until then, go back in time and listen to some of our podcasts from Soundcloud!

Few Hiccups with the station

The past three days have been hell trying to keep the radio station going. I was in the process of moving everything to a dedicated desktop computer that I picked up for $50. The mini laptop that was running the station since day one kept updating Windows without asking if I wanted to update and restart. Everything is now moved to the desktop computer and I will keep the mini laptop close by in case the other one goes down.

In other news, we might be changing directions with the radio station. Right now we are playing people from all around the world, which is great, but I would like to advertise local musicians and events that go on around Greencastle, PA. I really don't want to change the name, however, I believe it to be very necessary since Greencastle is nowhere near Nashville. I think we can play and advertise local musicians but keep playing folks from around the world. Anyone have any suggestions?

Goodbye Podcast, Hello Radio!

The podcasts were too time-consuming, which is why we haven't done one since June. That is now in the past for now, as we have an online radio station now! All of the music we receive can now just be added to the rotation. Check it out in the pop-up player!

We haven't disappeared!

We are posting this update to first bring in the new year with Indie Radio Nashville and to also let our listeners know that we have not given up the podcast.

First of all, welcome to 2017! We have had a successful year in 2016 bringing you new music from around the world from musicians who should be heard. 2017 will be no different in that aspect. We thought that we would be releasing more podcasts than we did last year, but we lacked the musicians to promote. Not as many musicians answered our ads as we originally planned. We managed, however, to release five solid podcasts that were listened to by at least 100 people each. This next round we want to break that record and double it with the new episodes.

How are we going to be different in 2017? Our goals for 2017 are as followed:

* Improved podcast quality. (mastering skills needed)
* Quality discussions instead of just introducing musicians.
* To find a place for old podcasts to die that is assessable to everybody.
* Start an online radio station. (Still searching for a cheap host)
* Start artist interviews via skype or something.

We will just stop there for now because that is a long list to complete within a year. These are our goals and will help build our listener base. We want independent musicians to be the new mainstream and will do everything in our power to continue promoting real musicians like you. Check back with us every once in awhile and subscribe so you won't miss anything. Things are coming together for the first episode of the new year. Stay tuned...
