In this episode of my combined vlog/podcast series of conversations with inspiring media scholars and professionals from around the world, I sit down with Atze de Vrieze, Dutch music journalist and podcaster, and Ben Swanson, co-founder of indie record label Secretly Canadian Records out of Bloomington, Indiana in the United States.
In this wide-ranging discussion we talk about their careers and experiences, what it takes to 'make it work' in the music industry, how technological transformations influence and shape creative practices, what it means to 'keep it real' in a world full of performance and (self-) promotion, and of course we share cool tips for new music to check out!
Recorded on Thursday afternoon January 27, 2022. The vlog version of this interview is available on YouTube. This vlog/podcast intends to meet the authors of the literature in the field of media studies and communication scholarship, as well as featuring prominent media professionals from journalism, film, television, music, digital games, and advertising.
