With all the bands and musicians that exist in the world begging to be heard by the masses today, why not offer musicians ad-space in podcasts? Instead of hearing an ad you hear a short intro and music from a new band for 30-45 seconds. Thoughts?

  I'd change the intro to an outro, make it longer and end with a notice like " .. and that's it for todays episode. Enjoy this [adjective] song made by [artist] and see you next time."

  Also, the first couple of episodes to have this could have it for free to get musicians started so that you get time to see how it goes and see if any listeners starts complaining.

  Great idea! Outro is much better and not so annoying. We may buy outro time via LTB coin right?

  When @matt said, "Instead of hearing an ad you hear a short intro and music from a new band for 30-45 seconds", I don't think he meant the intro to the LTB episode. My understanding was that he was talking about using a regular ad space (probably somewhere within the episode), and the music would be briefly introduced.

  The 'Mad Money Machine' episodes finish with a song, which works well. This format could be used with the artist paying for it in LTBcoin. Would the audience miss out by not having the song lovingly selected by the podcaster though? Would the podcaster be able to choose from a bunch of music which people are willing to pay to get aired?

  There is also the option of having the music interjected between segments a show (as I think Matt meant), and I think this option is fine too.

  This is a good idea. I'm surprise I haven't seen it happen on more podcasts yet. It's probably more an issue of educating bands that they can do this. Do you know any bands that would pay for a spot?

  @spengler @crimsonroze

  By "intro" I meant someone introducing the artist so users would know who they're listening to. Not necessarily intro to the show. Outro is a great idea though.

  Right, my concern here is this

  I'm actually really picky about music. I will say no to people who are willing to give us funds because frankly I dont want music I dont like on the show, and thats a sorta shitty service to provide.

  So other people can do this but I'm very nervous since I do not like insulting people who want to help and rejection is nothing but an insult to an artist. The way we have things now I pick the things I like and do not comment on the things that don't fit my needs. Its not great, but it prevents me from having uncomfortable or alienating interactions with people trying to support what we're doing in their own way.

  it is a pitty because the outro was a great idea, but I understand your reasoning! Ma ybe another podcast on the LTBnetwork might like to implement it?
