What is Midwest Mixtape?

Midwest Mixtape is a podcast where two music lovers come together to explore the landscape of the music industry across the Midwest. Through conversations with people at every level of production: up-and-coming musicians, record labels and producers, music festival and venue coordinators, and more. We’ll hear the unique experiences of these talented creatives and see how they make a living from doing what they love without the advantage of being on the coast.
