Loren Weisman host of “Wait What Really Ok” Podcast: We recently discussed music in podcasts: I have uploaded a few things over the past few years, but in the last month, decided to create a Podcast called Wait What Really Ok and the experience has been amazing. The SEO aspects alone have allowed many of my episodes to come up all over the Internet. As example, if you search “how do you add music to your radio show or podcast legally”.
- It is the first result with Siri
- Comes up on Google, Yahoo and Bing on the top and has been slowly building.
He says, I did the show with SSA Music Publishing’s Paula Savastano and I think it could be a solid and short promo piece that could help many podcasters understand not only how to legally use music, but also how to get those musicians paid (it is pennies or actually less on the dollar, but still, it's paying musicians.) Let’s Play a Sample of this Episode
