Music Podcast RSS Feeds

There are many online music podcast RSS feeds to choose from online. Many of the music feeds represent producers distributing non-mainstream music that otherwise would not be able to reach an audience. These musicians are able to build a following and share their work from outside the traditional music culture that tends to keep out more niche groups. Because the
music industry is oriented towards mass distribution and marketing, musicians and groups that don't command such widespread acceptance are kept out of the market.

Distributing some of their music by podcast RSS feeds, however, lets them expose their talents and grow a small fanbase of listeners who enjoy their work. These musicians may support themselves by also selling portions of their work, or may decide to provide all of their work for free, as some do.

After growing a fanbase who enjoy their music podcast RSS feed, these musicians might parlay that popularity into music contracts within the industry. By proving that they can support a passionate audience even with their own meager efforts, a music company can sometimes be convinced of the music's viability on a larger stage and the group or individual has a better chance of successfully getting a contract while maintaining their independent style.
