Title: Podcasters: Where Do You Find Music For Your Podcast?
Post by: DKT on May 09, 2008, 08:56:28 PM: Hey all! I'm hoping to start up a podcast in the not-too distant future. Since I know some of you here have your own podcasts, I was hoping you could offer me some advice on where to find opening/closing music for my show. I'm trying to search the Podsafe Music Network, but the site is so HUGE and there are so many artists on it, it's a bit overwhelming. Do you all have any suggestions for me?

He has given it, provided I attribute him and give a URL. If you know a small artist who might want some exposure, contact him/her and ask permission. The worst they can do is say no.

I'll probably use my real first name.
