Marie: The Radio Fam

If you've ever wondered what our show might look like if it was
built by a millennial, look no further than The Radio Fam. It's a
YouTube-first podcast that's not unlike this one, and today's
guest is its owner and creator, Marie.


The Radio Fam's mission statement is to break the mold of
mainstream radio stations' crappy social media integration. All
the way back in 2009, Marie was aware that most stations weren't
doing enough to build their brands through the internet, which
was where the idea for The Radio Fam began. It didn't come to
fruition until 2017, but thankfully for Marie (and unfortunately
for the rest of the industry), most radio stations were still
just as behind then as they were 8 years before.


Nowadays, it's a place for people to connect with one another,
and in their own words from TheRadioFam.com, it's "a resource for
those that are looking to the future of radio," which is no doubt
something more people in the radio business need to do.


In this episode, Marie tells us about her lifelong passion for
radio, from growing up listening to the stations in and around
Seattle, to volunteering for their street teams in her free time,
and eventually landing proper paid roles in marketing and
promotions. She also talks to us about her eventual shift to
podcasting, and goes deeper on what inspired her to start The
Radio Fam.


If you like what you hear from Marie in this episode, you should
definitely check out The Radio Fam on YouTube, as well as
dropping them a follow on all the usual social media, which can
be found at the bottom of their website.


A thanks to the people who support the show each week and allow
it arrive on your phones for free.
