Interview with KTXT Promotions Director, Sammi Rana

For the 5th episode of my Music Podcast series, I chose to focus on Lubbock's music scene. More specifically, 88.1 KTXT-FM's involvement with improving the scene. Currently, our music scene has boomed more than just about any year I've been here. There has been a major increase in the quality and the number of bands that are traveling to Lubbock to put on shows. KTXT has been a major part of the increase, thanks mainly to the Promotions Director, Sammi Rana. He is very involved in both the station and with bands to get these shows to take place. We discussed how he is utilizing avenues to bring the bands as well as what listeners can do to help out the station's cause. We also discussed what he envisions for the future of the Lubbock music Scene. It was a very interesting interview and I think you will enjoy it. Keep Lubbock ROCKIN!!!

PodCast 4 KTXT Station Manager

This podcast focuses on Texas Tech's Radio Station KTXT 88.1 FM. The interview was with Station Manager Ali "Burgers" Rana. We discussed the station and how it is utilizing New Media such as iTunes/iUniversity, streaming audio, and other techniques to promote new music and bands. The station takes a lot of pride in their specialty shows and live shows, featuring both local bands and touring bands. Burgers has done a wonderful job as Station Manager and has a lot of pride in the station.
I didn't encounter many problems when making this episode, other than people canceling on me, and getting the pics to play in iTunes.
