I have gone to a podcast-only format for the foreseeable future. In respect to the artists' welfare, I'm continuing to operate within the means of Internet radio, and will continue to pay royalties. However the show will not be heard in a live setting as in prior years..

And more about Cyber PR:
Ariel Publicity, a music PR firm with an 11-year history of delivering results for independent musicians has recently launched a new service to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of the music business. It's called Cyber PR and it works like a matchmaking site for artists that expose you to online PR opportunities.
There is a video demo of how it functions here:
http://arielpublicity.com/cyber_pr/demo.html
Ariel’s Cyber PR is an online PR campaign custom designed for each artist based on musical genre, hometown and touring markets. And, because the whole thing is based online they charge 1/10 of what the average national PR firm charges.
We will send artist’s custom built VPK (includes bio, Web & MySpace URLs, photo, influences, and 1 MP3 that is both stream able and downloadable) to thousands of potential coverage websites including:
• Internet radio stations (like Radio Crystal Blue)
• Podcasters (ditto)
• Online music magazines
• Blogs, vlogs & audioblogs
• Music directories
• Social networking sites
• Lifestyle sites
• Regional sites (your hometown)
• Video upload sites
• Tour dates sites (your gigs)
• Newspapers, magazines and college outlets in all tour markets
We provide each website with a username and login where they can maintain their personal profile and set the criteria that they wish to receive (genre, region, category). Each outlet is invited to leave feedback for the artist by clicking on one button. They are also invited to request a full CD if they want to hear more music. CDs only get sent to the outlets that request them saving the artist a fortune in postage and materials.
The artist also gets a profile page, username and a password to your dashboard where you can track your results in real time, check out special discount opportunities for music related services and be introduced to the Ariel Publicity of charities that you can help.
Cyber PR will also build profiles in the top 10 Social Networking sites online today (yes there is a lot of life outside of MySpace) as well as submit your music to film and TV placement companies that could leverage placements. Cyber PR also sets up contests for online prize package CD & t-shirt giveaways and sets artists up for feature interviews, phoners, live in studios and Q&As when requested.
Each full Cyber PR campaign lasts 3 months and the fee is: $1495.00
If you are interested we would love to send you a full proposal that outlines in more detail what we can do for you
Sincerely,
Dan Herman
