GlitchNYC

1000 friends

January 5th, 2006

Well, 1000 people who know about the GlitchCast is certainly not a bad start. I’ve been getting tons of request to check out artists and play them on our show, and I’ve already found some great ones including Jonathan Hape, My Little Radio, and Chris Ayer. They’ll all be featured in the next GlitchCast.

I think I’ll take a break for a few days and get in touch with the people I’ve friended in this batch, before continuing on the list of people I’d like to add. I’ve had some great contacts from amazing Americana and bluegrass artists, some really good rock bands, and even a goth band.

I’m actually kind of surprised - after 1000 adds, I haven’t had a single person say “who are you and why did you add me?” Everyone’s been checking out the info page, clicking “add” and messaging with words of encouragement or requests to be played. It sounds like there’s a real demand for music podcasts, especially in the indie music scene. Very cool.
