| | <p>There are some people who have acted as a bridge between podcasters and indie musicians, providing a website that has a library of songs for podcasters. Musicians can post their music on these sites and podcasters can use that music in their podcasts without having to pay royalties.</p> | | <p>There are some people who have acted as a bridge between podcasters and indie musicians, providing a website that has a library of songs for podcasters.

| | <p>The best part is that podcasters must provide an account of each song that they used. While you do not get money for a song that is used, you will know where it's being played, which is something that most radio stations never do. This is a win-win situation for podcasters and musicians.</p> | | <p>The best part is that podcasters must provide an account of each song that they used.

| | <p>We haven't taken advantage of any of these collectives yet as we are currently evaluating the agreements to make sure that they are benign. We will report on our experience with them if we take part.

| | <p>Most every regularly released podcast needs a theme song. Even talk-only podcasts needs one to start and end the show. You can sometimes offer to write a theme song, or offer one that you have already recorded for a podcast. If they like it, they might just mention your band name each show, to tell the audience who did the song. This is the same thing that happens for a lot of shows on National Public Radio.</p> | | <p>Most every regularly released podcast needs a theme song.

| | <p>Beatnik Turtle has had very good experience with this and we can recommend this as an excellent way to get your name out. A year ago as of this writing, we ran across a podcast for a very popular board game website (over 400,000 unique visitors a month.) We had just finished our Cheapass Album, which was an album distributed and promoted by the boardgame company Cheapass Games. We noticed that a boardgame podcast didn't have a theme song. We sent them an email asking them if they'd like us to write one for them. They accepted enthusiastically.</p> | | <p>Beatnik Turtle has had very good experience with this and we can recommend this as an excellent way to get your name out.
