Dynasty Podcasts partners with the DePaul Music Business Organization (DMBO) for From The Ground Up: In Conversation With Leaders In Chicago's DIY Music Scene, recorded at DePaul University.

House Calls Co-founder & Creative Director Drew Conner and Bookclub Co-Founders Cam Stacey and Kevante “K.O.” Weakley join DMBO Co-President Madison Manor and Dynasty Podcasts' Jaime Black for a live panel on what goes into working as independent operators in Chicago's live music community.

The panel shares insights into managing an independent venue, as Bookclub does, as well as operating without a set venue, as House Calls does. The speakers also discuss artist and audience relations, navigating local government red tape as music professionals, and more.

Produced with DMBO (Madison Manor, Via Epstein, Adriana Kelly, and Abby Cavaness), House Calls, Bookclub, and Gaby Dupont for Dynasty Podcasts.
