Dreampath Podcast Episode #79: Darran Bruce on DJ Sessions, Music Rights, Jellicle Cats, and the Importance of Human Connection

Well here is another AWESOME, and hilarious, interview I did with Dreampath Podcast.

FYI it was done via Zoom, but only the audio went up…hahahah.

That was probably the safe thing to do, lol.

Have fun with it.

The parallels between live Broadway musicals and DJ performances, and the story behind Darran’s original idea to incorporate video into podcasts. [9:28-20:44]

The benefits and challenges of streaming on Twitch, how to navigate complicated copyright issues and “fair use”, and the hurdles involved in obtaining music licensing. [20:44-30:06]
