Asses In Seats
LIVE Music Podcast
on Instagram
It’s like sports talk radio but for music heads.
We discuss hot music news topics, recent concerts, and festivals and feature music professionals as guests. But the best part is that we give FANS an opportunity to join the conversation by calling our hotline or requesting to join live on Instagram. The show is fun, insightful, and entertaining for music lovers and music pros alike while we do some good, raising funds for MusiCares!
NEW for Season 2!
Instead of alternating episodes, this season, Asses in Seats hosts Steph Seiple and Mitch Beer will host each episode together! The phone hotline is back – and making the most of new IG features, they can now go live with two guests simultaneously. So you can expect more guests, more industry talk, and tons of donations for MusiCares during each episode!
MusiCares helps the humans behind music because music gives so much to the world. MusiCares is a safety net supporting the health and welfare of the music community by offering preventive, emergency and recovery programs. Founded by the Recording Academy in 1989 as a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) charity, MusiCares safeguards the well-being of all music people through direct financial grant programs, networks of support resources, and tailored crisis relief efforts.
