Chris Anderson and CD Baby: That's Right, I'm Picking A Fight | In a March 2010 episode of the CD Baby DIY Musician Podcast, Chris Anderson was interviewed about his new book titled,"Free: The Future Of A Radical Price". As you may already be aware, from my DIY Guide, I don't think highly of Chris Anderson (or CD Baby), so I decided to offer some feedback on the CD Baby Podcast message line. What you'll hear in this episode of The Solo Album Podcast are clips from Mr. Anderson's interview, my phone call to CD Baby, and the responses from the CD Baby hosts themselves. Stay tuned until the end to hear some of my additional commentary. | 7/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
