I’m not sure if this is in the right catagory but here goes…. My friend is in the fringes of the radio industry (WCR in Wolverhampton) and he keeps inviting me to help with podcasts and stuff as I want to be music producer and he reckons the contacts would be helpful. So I suppose my question is how will dabbling with radio help me to become a producer? How are the two industries connected?
1. The radio industry requires program material to put on the air. Music is quite popular and comes in many varieties and appeals to many people.
2. The music industry survives by selling their products (records, tapes, etc.) to the public. Radio stations do a very good job of exposing the public to the music industry’s products, thus creating demand. Also, the music creators receive payments from the radio station when their music is played.
Symbiosis?
