Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music.On this 'cast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Travis Rosenblatt, founder of the SaaS platform for A&R research and scouting, Meddling.Rosenblatt is a particularly interesting person to speak to because, by his own admission, he spends a lot of his time NOT consumed in his day job. This allows him the bandwidth to think deeply about the music business, its challenges, and where it might be headed in future.Meddling is very clever, gathering data from multiple touchpoints on new artists for clients that have included the likes of  Republic Records, Kobalt, Columbia Records, and Atlantic Records.But as a SaaS platform, Meddling largely runs itself – enabling Rosenblatt’s mind to wander toward various crucial topics for the modern music industry.On this podcast, Ingham asks Rosenblatt about Meddling – a bit – but their conversation also dives into PROs, DIY distribution, music’s role on video platforms, and much more besides…The Music Business Worldwide Podcast is supported by Voly Music.
