Fifteen years ago this week, the original 'Digital Disruption' took place when Napster was born. The music industry was changed forever...blah blah blah, we've all heard it before. But we wanted to look at the immediate changes that came from Napster, and what is happening today in the music industry that is a direct result of the peer-to-peer sharing of music in the early 2000s. From fans trading music for free, to artists giving away their music for free, a lot has changed!

Radio Dale is the podcast about music, musicians and the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices. We help bring indie and established acts to radio, and spread the word online, as well as develop their careers in today's ever-changing music business. This podcast gives away some of our best information for free, and serves as the 'radio show' that broadcast the ideas, observations and insights we discover every day working with Canadian and International artists.
