The Rhythmic Resonance Podcast

I'm very grateful for the support I've received from the community since I started the podcast back in March. Witnessing the steady and natural growth has been such an encouragement as I continue to document Montana music, and I feel as though I've only scratched the surface of where I can take this. Initially, I wanted to focus exclusively on local Hip-Hop, the genre I'm most familiar with, but I soon realized that I could only take the podcast so far within that niche. There aren't many local artists in that community, and I knew I would eventually run out of people to interview. After 25 podcast episodes, I managed to accumulate over 1,000 episode downloads and nearly 1,500 all-time listeners in just 10 months, which I find astounding. I truly couldn't have achieved this without the unwavering support from the community and the team here at Area 41 Collective in Missoula. Thank you, Montana!!!

Starting in 2026, I'll be branching out to interview artists from other genres to provide a more comprehensive look at Montana's musical talents and community. I believe this is the best move to continue offering a personal and intimate platform to local and independent artists. I'm really excited and have a fantastic list of people to reach out to. There's so much talent here, and many deserve recognition for their contributions and hard work from the past to present day.

That said, I'll be taking a short break after releasing Episode 25 to restructure and analyze what worked and what didn't, with the hope of continuing to grow and build upon the foundation set this last year. Keep your eyes and, most importantly, your ears open for the next release, and KEEP SUPPORTING LOCAL ART!

- With Love,
