Vermont Business Magazine Burlngton-based CashorTrade, a social network where fans buy, sell and trade tickets at face value, announced a partnership with Osiris, a network of music and culture podcasts. Born from the same love and passion for music, the ticketing site and media company both dedicate themselves to enriching the live music experience for their fans. “Osiris provides a new level of depth for fans,” says Jonny Adler, Director of Business Development at CashorTrade. “The same fans who are committed to the face value movement— the ones who want to share experiences, not make profit on tickets -- are the same fans interested in diving deep into Osiris podcasts.”
The near term focus of the partnership will be Osiris’ new podcast and video series, The Drop. A weekly video show hosted by Amar Sastry (Anatomy of a Jam), The Drop will bring live updates from the road from the best touring acts and festivals, bringing subscribers everything from tour announcements, epic live show sit-ins, plus perspectives from industry professionals, all in a brief but entertaining 10 minutes.
“We’re living in a world where emails flood your inbox and music news gets lost in the mix,” says RJ Bee, Osiris co-founder and host of Helping Friendly Podcast.
The Drop will be accompanied by a weekly podcast series, released on Mondays, for those who prefer to tune in without their eyes. As the longer-format sibling to the weekly video news show, The Drop will be a source for music news, bringing listeners behind-the-scenes content curated in partnership with CashorTrade. Hosted by a rotating cast of Osiris friends and family, the podcast will include artist interviews, festival previews and coverage, and much more.
“Podcasts are a new and exciting medium for content,” says CashorTrade founder and CEO Brando Rich. “Osiris is bringing a level of humanity to the discussion in a way that a blog article or social media post can’t.”
The Drop released on video Sunday, March 25. It’s more in-depth podcast formatpremiere on March 26. For more information on The Drop and the Osiris x CashorTrade partnership, visit www.cashortrade.org
