The Rhythmic Resonance Podcast

I'm very grateful for the support I've received from the community since I started the pod back in March. Seeing the steady and natural growth has been such an encouragement as I continue to tackle this documentation of Montana music and I feel as though I've only scratched the surface of where I can take this. At first, I really only wanted to dive into local Hip-Hop, with that being the genre I'm the most familiar with, but I soon realized I could only take the pod so far within the genre. There's not many who are apart of that community and I knew, eventually, I'd run out of people to talk to. After 25 episodes, I was able to accumulate over 1,000 episode downloads and nearly 1,000 all-time listeners in just 8 months, which to me, is astounding. I really couldn't have done it without the support from the community and the team here at Area 41 Collective in Missoula. Thank you Montana!!!

However, starting in 2026 I'll be branching out and interviewing artists within other genres to really give a full scope of Montana's musical talents and community. I feel as though it's the best move to continue providing a personal and intimate platform to local and independent artists. I'm really excited and I have a great list of people to reach out too. There's so much talent here and many deserve so much recognition for their contributions and hard work from the past to present day. 

With that said, I'll be taking a short break after releasing Episode 25 to restructure and analyze what worked and what didn't to hopefully continue 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,
