'People really like music. But the music industry lets everyone else capture the value.'

Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported
by Voly Music.

On this 'cast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Travis
Rosenblatt, founder of the SaaS platform for A&R research and
scouting, Meddling.

Rosenblatt is a particularly interesting person to speak to
because, by his own admission, he spends a lot of his time NOT
consumed in his day job.

This allows him the bandwidth to think deeply about the music
business, its challenges, and where it might be headed in
future.

Meddling is very clever, gathering data from multiple touchpoints
on new artists for clients that have included the likes of
 Republic Records, Kobalt, Columbia Records, and Atlantic
Records.

But as a SaaS platform, Meddling largely runs itself –
enabling Rosenblatt’s mind to wander toward various crucial
topics for the modern music industry.

On this podcast, Ingham asks Rosenblatt about Meddling – a bit –
but their conversation also dives into PROs, DIY distribution,
music’s role on video platforms, and much more besides…
