Yay!
Today #tibr fed me a track by Bob Drake that was amazing.
Is Bob Drake here on fedi somewhere? 
Clearly on #bandwagon : https://bandwagon.fm/@bobdrake

The Indie Beat internet radio has a spoken word channel now! Very cool!
https://theindiebeat.fm/spoken-word/
It has been added to the #roku app and is available (along with all other stations) using any of these apps and devices:

If you are a #writer and record your words -- you can easily get them on air and heard by uploading to https://bandwagon.fm and tagging with genre "Spoken"
TheIndieBeat.fm now has 2302 tracks available, now including spoken word 
Hats off to all the people who've contributed to making TIBR possible. Many hands make light work!

The Indie Beat Update
I'm super happy to share that TheIndieBeat.fm now includes the following with the currently playing track:
- larger album art
- more details about the track
- 
a link to the artist's profile page
The channel history now also includes a link to the artist with every track.
This was all made possible (and possible a lot faster) by @axwax . Thank you 
!
If you've uploaded music to Bandwagon in the last couple of weeks and have been waiting for it to show up on The Indie Beat, thank you for your patience!
Things at TIBR got a little backlogged. But it's all caught up now.
We're up to an astonishing 2211 tracks
Will be releasing new genre channels and an enhanced player in the next day or so...

New The Indie Beat Radio “now playing“ bot by Lime Bar (@limebar)
The new #tibr "now playing" bot is humming along nicely.
I'm happy with the way it looks and works. Go check it out
I'm hoping this can drive some engagement with the artists and enable discovery that tiny bit more.
@musicproduction people you can get your tracks played on air by uploading to Bandwagon, checking the "Distribute to The Indie Beat" box, and tagging your genres.
Currently listening to the Ambient channel on TheIndieBeat.fm for the first time and I anticipate returning to this channel on a regular basis for the foreseeable future.
All musically meditative works to the front in 2025. You and I both know that we're gonna need them. Often. And for that reason alone, this channel is essential.
If you’ve liked listening to any of my NHAM mixtapes you might just like my mix of mixtapes radio channel on The Indie Beat Radio: https://theindiebeat.fm/nham/
It’s just been launched to go alongside some of the other awesome channels on The Indie Beat Radio.
If you hear a song you like you can look them up in the alphabetically ordered list on the same page, click through to the artist and hear more from them.
Every time I release a new mixtape the new songs will be added to the channel. 
NHAM Channel Launches On TheIndieBeatRadio.fm by MizKirsten (@mizkirsten)
J’en profite pour signaler que la chaîne principale de The Indie Beat Radio est très bien aussi !
Elle diffuse notamment les albums présents sur https://bandwagon.fm (après consentement des artistes), dont 3 des miens 
Bref, mettez tout ça dans vos signets (et désabonnez-vous des gros streamers dégoûtants !)
Ça fait plaisir de passer à nouveau à la radio, surtout depuis la fin de #RadioFreeFedi, et surtout en si bonne compagnie et sur une station aussi classe que…
Not What I Call Radio Bonk Wave!

I just did a station restart on Everything, for anyone who happened to be listening. Apologies for the interfuption!
This probably needs some editing but I'm not going to get to that today, so here's a thing I wrote about the Bandwagon and Indie Beat Radio integration, taking in a whole lot of other stuff along the way to put it into context as to why I think it stands out as an important step forward.
Calming myself down by listening to fediverse musicians on The Indie Beat Radio #TIBR.
