Happy New Year! Our first episode of 2025!

Shari and I discuss her feeling of AI in podcasting. We also talk about her new single Modern Girl coming in February and we play some podsafe music.

Shari Post and I discuss playing podsafe music on your podcast in 2025 and where you can get podsafe music from.

We talk about whether copyright free music is the same as podsafe music.

We also discuss how you can play your podsafe music from the World Podcast Network's Podsafe Music Directory. Whatever genre you are looking to play on your podcast whether rock, pop podsafe music, or hip hop podsafe music, or even EDM/Techno/House music for your podcast, there are lots of copyright free and posafe music to select.

We also play our upcoming singles Kingdom and Modern Girl.
