Event Recap Chat with Jim Devers of Santa Tapes

[Stapesblog]

@GWarren Im looking at a mixture. Maybe a main feature interview accompanied by a list of all the new releases for that genre

 

[Jeff Westover]

In your opinion, what is the one genre where you're seeing more Christmas music emerge?

 

[Stapesblog]

and probably build the list and just add to it each time we feature that genre

 

[Stapesblog]

From what i ve seen its pretty even, but of course you see a lot of pop

 

[Stapesblog]

That seems to be the generic genre for Christmas music

 

[Jeff Westover]

I don't know why but in recent years we've seen a lot of country

 

[GWarren]

That's the great thing about today's technology. You don't have to just listen to what the radio stations are playing.

 

[Stapesblog]

Our local station plays the same music every year

 

[Jeff Westover]

@GWarren -- it's a good point you bring up. The biggest complaint I hear about Internet and terrestrial Christmas radio is the preponderance of the same old stuff

 

[GWarren]

Kringle radio should have you do a playlist

 

[Jeff Westover]

YES!

 

[Jeff Westover]

That's exactly where I was getting at

 

[Stapesblog]

That would be great

 

[Jeff Westover]

I would have no problem giving you your own stream. Free of charge.

 

[Stapesblog]

Lets work this out and see what we can do!

 

[Jeff Westover]

I think between that and a podcast outreach effort you'd be really positioned well to do something nobody else is doing

 

[Jeff Westover]

And talk about a win for everyone.

 

[Jeff Westover]

This takes up a lot of time...how do you find time to do it?

 

[Stapesblog]

My day job is pretty laid back, just doing embroidery. And as a single guy I have a lot of free time in the evenings

 

[Stapesblog]

I like to fill that with Christmas music
