You’ve emailed, called, and left comments on our blog. You’ve got tips, and opinions, and stories about being an indie artist. You hate or love our guests. You miss calling Bolton, Robert. You want to plug your band. Well your voices will be heard! And even more so than usual. In this episode we’ve dedicated the whole podcast to you, our listening audience. Lots of calls and lots of fun (is that too cheesy?).  So, you didn’t have a chance to call  to make it in this episode?  Don’t worry, you can always call our listener line for inclusion in a future episode.
Kristin Thomson is the Education Director at the Future of Music Coalition, a national nonprofit organization that works to ensure a diverse musical culture where artists flourish, are compensated fairly for their work, and where fans can find the music they want.  The coalition works to lobby lawmakers to ensure that  the voice of the artist community is heard during the legislation process.  At the moment, fair access to radio is one of the top issues they are working.  Kim will guide us through the tangle of legislation that has drastically shaped the radio landscape and acquaint us with the steps her organization is taking to make radio a more open fair medium.
