Today we’re happy to announce a new recurring podcast at TVD, Independent Minded with Ron Scalzo. New episodes of the podcast will commence next week, and given that the podcast itself is over 100 episodes deep, this week we thought we’d introduce you to what’s in store from its archives. —Ed.
The Independent Minded podcast features conversations with indie artists in the music and entertainment business.
Pop culture legends “Weird Al” Yankovic and Henry Rollins, indie icons CAKE, Gogol Bordello and Mike Doughty, and up-and-coming indie artists The Districts and Vagabon talk about their experiences in the business, their inspirations and passions, and their recent projects.
The podcast is hosted by Ron Scalzo, an indie musician and radio producer with 9 self-released albums and an independent record label of his own, Bald Freak Music.
