Our Podcast Theme Music
May 9th, 2008
One of the most common questions we get in regard to our popular podcasts is,
“What’s that catchy intro music?”
Today, I thought I’d share.
SpoolCast: Mocean Worker - Right Now
SpoolCast Crew: Cal Tjader - Soul Sauce
Josh and Jared Show: Medeski Martin & Wood - End of the World Party
Usability Tools Podcasts: Medeski Martin & Wood - Mami Gato
All of these titles should also be available through iTunes, as well.
We license this music through ASCAP.

Brian, I’m glad you’re legal! How much does the ASCAP licensing cost? I’m sure lots of people would be interested in getting legal themselves if they knew.

UIE, always the home of cool music - I first heard Afro Celt Sound System at one of Jared’s talks back in 2000 or so.

Brian,
Thanks for the post. I have often wondered that myself. I noticed that Lincoln is using Soul Sauce in one of their commercials and I always think of the podcast when I hear it. I like your selection of music. It gives some class to your work. Also thanks for including that you licensed the music through ASCAP. I found information at http://www.ascap.com/weblicense on how to do this.

[...] Brian Christiansen wrote about the music he uses for the UIE podcasts. Brian mentioned that he has licensed the music through ASCAP. I checked their Web site and there is information about getting a license to use music for podcast intros, etc. The minimum license fee is $288 annually and then the balance is determined by revenue generated by the site and other factors.
