Free and Useful Advice (better your chances)
We have made it easier for you to find and submit to indie radio stations and other related sites by contacting each program manager and doing the research. Each station has been added to this directory with permission. We did a little work and you reap the rewards and now we offer it to you free to use! Be sure to check back often, new stations will be added all the time!
Here are some great tips to increase your chances at having successful music submissions to radio, blogs, reviewers and interviewers. Take your time and make it part of your art to have great looking submissions! Make these tips your new submission habit!
- Don't use promotional language when submitting. Act like you are talking to the program director to their face. Use casual language that doesn't promote anything, introduce yourself as a person.
- Do NOT submit blindly! Choose only those sites that best fit your artistic works.
- Include album/EP cover images and even stories about how songs came to be.
- Make sure all tracks have their ID3 tags in place

- Include all your social links at the bottom of the submission.

 Indie 500 Show Jamey Wilson The Indie 500 Show podcast counts up the best independent and unsigned music out there. I am on the lookout for the best music people have never heard. I started by Podcast on University Pulse Radio as a student at Boise State University then continued it for a few years after. I'm taking it back out of mothballs now that I have a bit more time and am looking for great artists once again.
The goal of my original show, and the resurgent one, is to get great music heard. I've always been partial to indie music becuase it seems to have more heart, but I felt it wasn't right that so much of it goes unheard by the majority of people. When I started participating on University Pulse radio at Boise State I decided that I would focus on independent and unsignes artists to do my own little part to get great music heard outside of the mainstream. I continued the podcast after leaving Boise for a while with the same goal.
My show focuses on most indie music from indie singer/songwriters to garage sound, with the exception of country, hip-hop/rap, heavy metal, and most electronic.
We accept all podsafe music with written permission to play the tracks on the indie500show. We also ask for permission to create a copyright free lyric video for the YouTube channel (though terms of a video are negotiable).
