I'm Lars Murray, a Digital Music OG working the content and tech sides of the voice and podcast worlds. You may know me from Pandora, Columbia Records, Virgin Records, Rykodisc (I said I was OG!), or from my international food posts on Instagram.
Let's talk about how voice and contextual audio content are essential tools for artists. I'm deep into it and want to share!
