Spotlight Conversations
The Sean Ross interview
Show Notes

Launching Season 3 of Spotlight Conversations is Billboard (and Radio and Records) music journalist Sean Ross, who has covered all genres of music and radio formats in the broadcast industry. The current VP of music and programming at Edison Research talks about his weekly online newsletter on Radio Insight called "Ross on Radio" (and discusses a topic called the "Lost Factor" - why some songs are hits for radio for a short time, and then never heard of again). We also talk about what he has in store for his  "Ross on Radio" newsletter in 2021; what makes a radio station "Station of the Year"; the changing scene of radio music formats (and listening habits); plus we discuss our personal frontrunners of the "Lost Factor" music scene, including my fave, the Buckingham Nicks solo LP.  Sigh. I could spend the day talking to this guy! Tune in, bring a cup of whatever and enjoy!


About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests know media, we're talkin'! Unscripted and nearly always entertaining, each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz; from where they started to how it's going. Join us in my swanky studio where drinks are always on ice; music + media are the conversation starters. New episodes every other Tuesday.
