Molly Neuman (Kickstarter) / Vulfpeck

Episode #67: Over the last decade, the music industry has become increasingly difficult to navigate -- especially for emerging artists. As the Internet has developed, it's introduced a slew of new issues for creators, but has also provided valuable tools. Some artists are taking things into their own hands by using crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter to launch albums and more. We discuss the trend with Kickstarter's new head of music, Molly Neuman, and hear from Jack Stratton of Vulfpeck, a group that creatively employs crowdfunding platforms and more. PLUS: We introduce the new podcast from Kill Rock Stars and The Guestlist, 'Say Yes.'
