Lorenzo’s Music Podcast Fedi Specials No.3: Ben Pate of Bandwagon
Tom from Lorenzo’s Music (@lorenzosmusic) meets Ben Pate (@benpate), the creator of Bandwagon.fm, an open-source platform designed specifically for musicians that integrates with the Fediverse, allowing artists to share their music in a decentralized manner.
Ben talks about the concept behind Bandwagon, explaining how it originated from a need for a more open alternative to music platforms. One with the ability to connect musicians with audiences through a search function that allows users to follow specific music tags and receive updates in their Mastodon feeds to serve as a music hub for discovering new music.
They also talk about the integration of Bandwagon with the online radio station Indie Beat, which provides an additional avenue for artists to showcase their work.
