Atze de Vrieze and Ben Swanson on the Music Industry

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. Please feel free to use this in your teaching and research. Please also check out other interviews in this series, like, subscribe, share and comment!
