If you’re looking for a new podcast or just some new music, check out one of these and support independent music!

  1. Insomnia Radio – Tight, award-winning podcast with frequent updates and lots of good music. Tagline is “the best music you’ve never heard.”
  2. MPR Current Song of the Day – Short but sweet: song of the day from Minnesota Public Radio. Indie stuff and unreleased songs.
  3. Indiefeed – Great new music, one song at a time. The podcast has some nice production value as well–less talk more rock. And if you don’t like rock, try the Hip Hop or Pop flavors. Enjoyable way to find new stuff. TIP: when the page loads, you can scroll down to the cassette tape flash player to stop the music.
  4. Amplified Podcast – Fun, sorta homegrown podcast with bi-coastal hosts. Frequency is fairly sporadic. Good music here, though. Format is hosted throughout with eight songs a week.
  5. Indie911.com – Canadian Indie music. Good production again and good music.
  6. The Fader is an indie music magazine. The podcast has a good variety of music in all genres.
  7. If your style is eclectic and world, check out The Sound Culture. They feature electronica, world, reggae, dub and hip hop.
  8. Even the BBC is hip to the Indie music scene. Check out Radio 1’s Unsigned features some of the best unsigned acts in the UK.
  9. GarageBand.com provides a simple indie music podcast. They call it the song of the week and you can subscribe via RSS, so I’m adding it to the list. It’s just a song attached to a feed, but they are featuring some good music. There’s actually a feed for each musical genre, so the song of the week is actually 10 or 12 songs of the week.
  10. The Timpodcast focuses on the Toronto independent music scene and there’s some great music here. Production is decent and the host is good.
