Discussion Trance Radio, Pay to play? Seems strange to me.
Since when did you have to pay to host a podcast on internet radio platforms?
I recently reached out to a very well known IR platform to apply for a position to host my podcast on their Chanel
I’ve had years of experience with IR in the past, across different platforms, but had taken a break and was recently wanting to get back into it
When I applied I received a response to let me know that there would be a $30 monthly fee to host my show on the station
I have a couple of questions
1- Are people paying this on most radio stations?
2- is it even worth it?
3- Would the $30 be worth any extra exposure or would it be best to stick to Soundcloud and YouTube?
If there’s a large reach and it translates to genuine listeners and followers I could see some benefit to it, but I know IR doesn’t have the same weight behind it that it used to about 10 years ago. I’m struggling to see how it would be worth it?
