About me:

Indie Across The Dial is my dream baby. A weekly podcast featuring Indie music of all genres from around the world. After spending more than a year working with Daniel j. Harris (The SoupyGato Show) and Kimmi Rudolph (The Metal Deli and The Rock Deli), I felt it was time for this grasshopper to come out from behind the curtain and take on a show of my own. (Wow, talk about mixing my pop culture metaphors!) In the beginning, I had visions of being a caped crusader, bringing my love of Indie music to the masses and showing them that there is a limitless selection of amazing music living in the shadows of mainstream music. I quickly found that every caped crusader needs a trusty sidekick because saving the world is not a one person job. Now I have a terrific co-host, Mike "Moose" Brown, who fills in for me occasionally and will be hosting a show each month, even if I don't need a substitute. Moose is a great guy, a friend for 20+ years, who will bring a little variety to IATD with his own take on music and his unflappable sense of humor. And I have Rod, my own personal hero, who takes on the more technical challenges for me like web design and management. He also takes on the roles of sounding board, therapist, advisor, and anything else I ask of him. I am a lucky woman to have such incredible sidekicks. On the serious side of things, I really do love music of all types and do believe that Indie music is the Cinderella of the music industry and I want to be the fairy godmother. Having no musical talent of my own, I am totally in awe of anyone who can string notes and words together to form music and believe that all music is meant to be shared, as well and honored and respected for the talent that created it. If you'd like to submit music to be featured on IATD, CD's can be sent to Michelle Thon, 210 Fitzhugh #616, Bay City, MI, 48708, or MP3's to submissions@indieacrossthedial.com. Please, with both formats, include an EPK or bio information (hometown, members, history, etc...), any and all links you may have, and an email address where we can contact you. We'll do everything we can to promote each artist/act featured, but need the proper information to be able to do it correctly. Also, if you'd like to send along any promotional items (shirts, hats, etc...), I'll find a member of my merry band of supporters to model it so a picture can be posted on this site (probably my daughter, Liz, since she is younger and infinitely cuter than either Moose or I). With all that said, I'm loving what I do and can't wait to see where this adventure (misadventure?) leads me to next. I'm enjoying every minute of seeing this particular dream become a reality.
