Keeping track of ever-emerging podcasts might be a bit of a chore, but it’s one that can pay dividends for the live music lover. Nugs.net is now providing a Nugscast. And Michael O’Connor, aka ocomik, editor of TheMusicNeverStopped.net makes podcasts (and a stream of those podcasts) available. TMNS also features downloads of The Grateful Dead Hour, by arrangement with the show’s host and producer, David Gans. LiveMusicBlog provides yet another heady podcast.
Since so-called jambands want to actively spread their unlicensed music as far and wide as possible, legal hangups that prevent big label artists from appearing in podcasts do not apply. Jamcasts or “Jerrycasts” are simply another great format for sharing the music.
