Episode 12- The Communications Manager... The Musician: Jai Agnish The Stolen Hours Podcast
-
- Arts
Jai Agnish has been making music since his youth. Alongside, came a sincere desire to support and build a community of creators that were independently getting their creations out there just like him. This led to the creation of his independent record label, Blue Bunny Records, and his Fanzine called Flygirl back in the late 90's. Both were created to support the known and unknown indie musicians he loved and befriended. Writers and artists who were just beginning to hone their art, found a chance to be published on the pages of the zine next to fun interviews with musicians ranging from Lou Barlou to Liz Phair. All of Jai's publications, on disc and paper, eventually became available on the shelves at Tower Records and many of the other favorite indie music supporting record stores. Jai has continued to make music, with several albums in his catalog to enjoy, but since he has also expanded his media expertise into careers that continue to support and help build other communities. For a decade and a half he worked as a newspaper reporter and editor in Northern New Jersey and now uses all of his skills in his position as a communications manager for the Archdiocese of Newark.
Enjoy this conversation as we discuss it all (including how one of his latest songs is enjoyed weekly in the intro of this podcast!) We even sneak in how he became a pilot and masterfully documented that process as only a skillful journalist could.
