MARK BRADBOURNE’S PODCAST JOURNEY
Meet Mark Bradbourne, your guide to the best new music on "Songs That Don't Suck." A true GenXer with a passion for all things music, Mark dives deep into the sea of fresh releases each week. From folk tunes to heavy metal beats, his refined ear separates the noteworthy from the mundane. So sit back and enjoy as Mark takes you on a weekly adventure through the rich landscapes of today's most exciting tracks. |  |
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background? I am an aging GenXer, who works in tech but spent many years as a musician. In fact I’m a fan of all things music, with live music being one of my biggest vices. I’m also a husband and father. | What inspired you to start a podcast? A couple of years ago I got bored listen to the same music that I’d been listening to for YEARS, but this is what happens as we age. Well, I didn’t like the idea of being bored, so I decided to challenge myself to find new music, and the podcast is my accountability partner |
How did you come up with the name of your podcast? I literally describe what my goal was; to find Songs That Don’t Suck | What is the main focus or theme of your show? Each week I listen to hundred of newly released songs across many different genres, looking for songs that make me feel something. I usually share around 5 per episode. I also talk about different music related topics, concerts I go to, and data trends from the music industry.  |
Have there been any particularly memorable moments during the recording that stick out to you? The most memorable parts have been when these small undiscovered artists send me a personal message and we get to have a conversation
| Who has been one of your favorite guests so far, and why? The Bites. I got the whole band for an interview What's next for your show – any exciting plans we should know about? At the end of this year, I’ll host the second annual The Don’t Sucky Awards, and that will be Episode 100 |
