Episode 221: Waking Up In Vegas

This week's theme by Katy Perry! ~ dj crier and Paul Sedkowski recently went to a radio conference in Las Vegas but never heard the word "music"...how weird is that?



They were hoping to hear all about new ideas in radio presenting, but instead all they heard about was advertisement placing...like there isn't enough adverts on the radio!!!!

Listen to today's Indie Insider Information to hear what did happen in Vegas, besides the bad coffee!!

PLUS! Mail from: Jake Niemi. Fame Games NEW Aritst Spotlight: Chix 6 and Automatic Static! And the Fame Games Regular rotational airplay went to Track of the Month Winner - "Incredible" by Stars Do Dim!


2-Time Track of the Week Winners: The Sanderson Pitch from Manchester, UK with "Faint Sounds" Can they do it again for the third week??!!!

019 Cowell Factor

This week I’m coming to you live from Hollywood, as I go to check out American Idol live!

What a show it was…ROCK week. But the downside, Paula Abdul decides to make a pop comeback by lip-syncing!!

So finally American Idol decides to get serious and do rock week and did it work, because 64 million people voted…an all-time record.

But before I let to much California sunshine get to my head, let's find out what’s in this week’s Fame Games talent bank. ‘Cause let’s face it! This is the future of where rock lives.

Now while the staff are selecting their own top artists, I’m going to pick my top three!


Listen to this podcast to find out which Fame Games artists I pick as my top 3 as well as other behind-the-scenes news at American Idol, Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor news about Leona Lewis!


The Cowell Factor

If you've only got ONE shot at FAME you might as well get it right!!
