Hey Media or Radio! Hit me up if you’d like to cover my music

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Josh

I’ve done this before. 12+ years ago. Then I thought about it. What types of media and radio people are just waiting for people to ask this question so they can respond? Occasionally you’ll connect with a gem but usually it’s the people without much of an audience.

Reconsider the strategy. Besides, there are usually giant opportunities right in front of your face anyway.

Making Claims Without Doing the Research

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Josh

As I was working this morning, something came across my desk that caught my attention.

This note made a claim to be the first in doing something when it clearly wasn’t first. Now the mistake may have been an innocent one but that shouldn’t absolve the claimant from taking even a few minutes to research on Google or Bing to fact check.

The headline and claim certainly is catchy. It also sounds impressive. Personally, when my credibility is on the line… I want to make sure my facts are straight.
