Ep 5 D Grant Smith Talks The Appetizer Radio Show, The DIY Musician’s Radio Handbook, and Chris Cornell

This episode of The Unstarving Musician’s Podcast features a conversation with host of indie radio station The Appetizer Radio Show, D Grant Smith.   D Grant is what he likes to call an audience growth farmer. His long-time mission is not only to curate quality music in album format, but also help musicians be better and growing their careers. He’s also the author of a book that I highly recommend you check out, The DIY Musician’s Radio Handbook: How To Growth Hack Your Fan Base & Build Stronger Networks Using Indie Radio Airplay. Our conversation touches on his work, Chris Cornell, marketing Jedi Seth Godin, and why showing you care about others will get you far.
