    Indiecast Is Back! Starting Friday April 10!

    Hello and welcome back to Indiecast! We are pleased to announce that the podcast we started back in 2020 and co-hosted through December of 2025 — when we were temporarily put on hold by our former producing partner — will return on Friday April 10. Same show, same day of the week, and even the same podcast feed. What’s different is our logo, which is a slightly different color. Also, we are now working with Amazon Music, who we are sure you have heard of. Otherwise, we’re picking up pretty much where we left off. And … just in time for a new WU LYF album? Seriously? Did Ian engineer this? While Amazon Music is helping out with the show, Indiecast will remain on all the platforms where you used to hear it. And it will be free. However, there will be special “bonus” content in the weeks and months ahead, including artist interviews, available exclusively on Amazon Music’s streaming service. We’ll have more to share on that very soon, but for now, the most important news is this: We’re back. And we’re ready to hash out some trends.  If you want to learn more about how this happened, and what else lies ahead, please visit Steven's Substack.
