    Using QR Codes to Promote your Blast Radio Profile & Streams

    As a Blast Radio streamer you automatically get a unique URL specific to you – blastradio.com/YourUsername. 

    If someone has the app and clicks on it, they will be taken directly to your profile. If they don’t have the app, they will be taken to a web player specifically about you – and be encouraged to download the app and follow you. 

    The unique URL is a great tool for promotion. A good way to get more value out of the link is by turning it into a QR code. Read on for more info!

    In conversation with: Corey Cummings (livefromcocoscabinet)

    Corey Cummings is a high school English teacher who also teaches courses focused on Sci-Fi literature and Fantasy literature. 

    A lifelong film fanatic with a special adoration for the weird and wonderful world of horror, he's been a part-time podcaster for about 7 years and has always dreamed of hosting his own radio show.

    We're thrilled to see Blast Radio help fulfill that dream. 

    We recently spoke with Corey to learn more about him, his two radio shows, his massive VHS collection, and the self-help radio show he started when he was 7.

    4 Tips for Getting More Tips

    We frequently hear that Blast streamers love the platform simply for the joy of being able to share what they love – music, thoughts, political musings, guest callers, and more. 


    That said, making some cash along the way certainly doesn’t hurt. 
    That’s why we created Fan Mail – a unique take on tipping where listeners can send you a personalized message with a financial token of their appreciation for your stream. 

    If you're not seeing the tips roll in just yet, don't fret... here are 4 tips to help you fill the tip jar.

    Wigflippa has been a staple of the Blast Radio airwaves for more than a year now. He walks the walk on his tagline, “Not the new school or the old school, the whole school,” with streams covering a lot of musical ground – his own original music, his friends' music, his label mates’ music (Sunday Dinner Records), and music he just loves. 

    We’ve written about Sunday Dinner Records in the past, but this week we’re going deeper with Wig. Read on to learn about the emcee.

    In conversation with: Sound Parade

    ‘Sound Parade’ is the newest, and potentially most mysterious, broadcaster to the Blast Radio airwaves. While a solo broadcaster, his shows are presented in the style of an internal dialogue with the host switching back and forth between two microphones and having a conversation with… himself. 

    As described in his Blast Radio profile bio, Sound Parade is an intrepid host trying desperately to navigate the stream of consciousness conversations while presenting a “Parade of Sound” featuring personal recordings, vinyl selections, and modular synths.

    He set himself a goal to do at least 100 broadcasts, however long that takes, and so far he's done 7. You've got 93 more to tune into.  

    We recently reached out for an interview… In true Sound Parade style, the responses we received were written as an internal conversation.
