A conversation with Joe Swank, a freelance radio promoter who previously worked in the radio space at Yep Roc Records and Bloodshot Records.
Joe was also a touring musician in the ’90s, hosts his own radio show, and co-founded the Alt-country Specialty Radio Chart — so he’s got a LOT of wisdom to share not only on the radio side, but on building a music industry career in general.
As we’re heard on other episodes; be ready to stay in it for the long haul, don’t bank on overnight success, and constantly (C O N S T A N T L Y) work on developing your network.
Also, be nice to people.
