I've been producing about 12 Podcasts with 130+ episodes since September, 2005. After watching the decline of the music industry for the last 20 years - and when Napster hit the scene, the marketing principle of "when a superior distribution vehicle emerges, there is nothing that can stop it's placement . . ." I knew the Podsafe Music Network was going to make a difference for all of the great artists that have been displaced from making a living with their music and lifestyle.

I found out about Finniston from listening to the Tartan Podcast.
I was looking for some Podsafe music for the show I was producing "Camille Adair-Norwick's Death and Dying - a lifelong practice." Camille is hospice nurse that weekly interviews leaders and workers in the field of death and dying. We were looking for music that would have the "feeling" that would set the tone for her somber but passionate/compassionate Podcast.

I purchased Finniston's CD last year. I received a personal note from Steven and Jolene with the CD that said:
"We love you for buying our CD. Please feel free to burn it for your friends, neighbors, bus driver etc. and help spread our music.

Thanks & keep in touch.

Steven & Jolene"

With Steven and Jolene's permission we started using "Changes" from "popular music that will live forever" as the intro music.
In all the show notes, we mention and link to the Podsafe Music Network and the web site for Finniston.

Via Camille's Podcast, Finniston is heard in at least these countries:
USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Mexico, Singapore, Philippines, Ireland, New Zealand, Thailand Malaysia, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, China, Norway, Israel, Japan, India Turkey, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, and Belgium.

Listen to the comment by Pam Vetter that was included in the most recent show when she was interviewed by Camille. She ordered the CD and wants to use Finniston's music in her workshops.
