Top of the Pops, Tabloids and Touring Dreams

Sun, 20 Sep 2026 00:43:49 GMT

Martin sits down with singer-songwriter Sarah Whatmore for a warm, wide-ranging conversation that moves through Manchester childhood memories, stadium atmospheres and the intimate joys of vinyl and live performance. Sarah recounts her rise in the industry, why she declined touring as a backup singer for a major pop star, and how motherhood and time away reshaped her creative choices. They discuss changes in the music business—streaming economics, songwriting revenue, and the potential of Podcasting 2.0—while celebrating physical records, acoustic sets, and the nostalgia that keeps ’80s and ’90s music alive.

Risky Business, Retro Glam & AI Magic: Inside Dollar's Comeback

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 01:14:27 GMT

Thereza Bazar (of Dollar) and collaborator Stephen join Martin to reflect on long careers, 80s synth-pop roots, and why nostalgia still fills venues. They share memories of ABBA, pirate radio, and the changing role of record labels, plus the emotional mechanics behind memorable pop — simplicity, craft and countless small tweaks. Conversation pivots to practicalities: touring the 80s weekenders, the economics of physical releases (vinyl/CD collectors) and how artists can reconnect with fans through live shows, radio and direct digital payments. They celebrate longevity, the fan-artist bond, and the need to keep moving creatively at any age.

Cuppa, Press Record: Defining the New Media Podcaster

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 05:10:18 GMT

Martin reflects on how to describe his work after a prompting from peers: is he a New Media Advisor, Podcast Strategist, Podcast Philosopher—or simply someone who helps people tell their stories? He unpacks the practical side of podcasting: strategy versus tactics, the value of just starting (press record), repurposing everyday encounters for episodes, and encouraging clients through example (one client grew to 100 episodes and 14 seasons). Martin also frames his identity around podcasting 2.0 features, freedom of expression, and the blend of philosophy and hands-on support he brings to personal brands, nonprofits, and small businesses.

They also touch on his book The Sean Method (second edition), feedback-led revisions to broaden its audience, and how his lived experience shapes the work he now offers to help others bridge belief and action.

Bumper and Jingle for Your Podcast

Sat, 06 Feb 2021 06:00:00 GMT

Tea Party Media podcast has a new bumper and jingle.

Excerpt from a related piece of content (I Am Being Tested, EGO NetCast podcast, January 17, 2021):

My main focus is to finish the work with my ”last,” site, and launch TeaParty.Media as soon possible. For the record: the name Tea Party Media is not associated with a political party or the modern tea party movement in any form, shape or manner. That said, I will continue to publish posts and episodes on politics and the tea party movement. I will also talk about what happened at the Boston Tea Party in 1773. In this day and age, it is more than ever an important issue to understand the history, and learn from it, don’t you think?
