I help produce a podcast called Devalued; a show about the balance between art and money. There are many great episodes - Damon Krukowski! Steve Albini! Mary Mancini! Suzanna Cianni! - but, of course, I recommend subscribing and listening to them all. Most recently, host Michael Ackley got caught up in a work obligation and I had to step in as substitute! Swapping Michael for Michael, a classic switcheroo. In this episode, we talk Radio Power with Jason Moon Wilkins and Emily Young - the Program Director and Events Director (respectively) of WNXP. They were kind enough to chat for a lengthy amount of time and provide lots of insights into how radio is still relevant in the music industry, how they strive to be a bi-directional part of the Nashville community and how artists can benefit from radio play.

With all the talk of streaming's abysmal royalty rates and the exhausting march towards automation (see The Ghosts In The Machine), it's incredibly refreshing to hear from these two about how much human involvement is required to make the station work as well as it does. I was quite happy to be a part of the interview, hope you enjoy it!
