Howdy all! And welcome to Year 4 of this website and podcast! It was 3 years ago on Jan 4, 2015, when the first post and podcast went up.s
Oh, how things have changed! This website was originally just a place to put the podcast. But since then, I’ve add playlists from Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, and BandCamp, and soon ReverbNation, to our repertoire! And also, on the occasional post about Other Sources, you can hear and find Iowa music, like compilation albums, other podcasts, other websites, among other places.
And now, starting since last month, we have added a new interview podcast, Your Own Private Iowa, featuring one- to two-hour interviews from Richard Sutton with Iowa musicians. And once a week, we present a video of a live performance from an Iowa jazz or classical act on Jazzman Joe Videos. And once a month, we present a video of an alternative act on our Fester Rage Videos.
And soon, we will be reprinting Culture Myth articles from former Cityview music writer, Chad Taylor!
So overall, a pretty good year here at IMSC!
But as for this podcast, we present the songs that were YOUR favorites, plus one of mine. This was determined by what posts and podcasts got the most views and/or listens. Then the song to represent that podcast was picked by which song’s post on the Iowa Music Showcase Songs websites got the most views.
