Jelly Bean Radio is a kid’s show full of stories, songs, games, and adventures. They always guarantee their listeners tons of fun!

Q) Tell us a little bit about your site. What inspired you to start it?

A) We are a site dedicated in having fun, telling stories and playing great kids music. We started the site because Kids type shows were  few and far between.  Shows like Radio Disney which is great focuses on the Older Kids.. We wanted to focus on the kids 0 to 8 years of age. Like the kids we good stories, we like corny jokes and great Kids friendly music.

Q) Why do you believe new media resources (i.e. blogs, podcasts, internet radio stations) have become so popular? How have they been beneficial to artists? How have they been detrimental?

A) I think the new media sources have become so popular because there easy to use. These sources allow people that would not naturally get a chance to feature their music, stories or ideas a place to do that. It is a platform for the artist to grow, make mistakes and shine. It allows the person a chance to try new things that they would not be able to using traditional methods. I dont really see anything detrimental to the artist.
Q) Media 2.0 has changed the way artists communicate with fans. Where do you envision online communication going next? Any thoughts on what Media “3.0” will look like?

A) How it has changed the way artist communicate is a better connect with fans. The fan responds to new projects and this helps fans get excited earlier on up and coming projects. Media 3.0 will probably be more interactive sites and more mobile applications.

Q) What does an artist have to do to get your attention? Are their specific characteristics that you look for?

A) Basically just send my your music, stories, or jokes.  We are looking for all types of music geared for the 0-8 , (kid freindly) We are looking for songs that have a soul, that are fun or have meaning or are educational. We love to dance, laugh, and have good time.

We are at www.blogtalkradio.com/jelly-bean-radio,  Sunday mornings 6am pst and  replay anytime.
