#129 - Digital vs Physical Media, Tariffs, & More

“Be a homie & let us know what you think”

The latest tariffs imposed by the US government will significantly impact physical merchandise shipped to American customers through Bandcamp, potentially causing higher fees and shipping delays for independent artists and their fans. Digital purchases remain unaffected and offer a practical way for supporters to continue backing their favorite artists during this challenging period.

• Bandcamp sent an email notification about new US tariffs affecting international merchandise shipments
• Some international postal carriers are temporarily suspending deliveries to the US
• Fans can still support artists by purchasing digital music instead of physical merchandise
• Bandcamp Fridays (when 100% of revenue goes to artists) remain an excellent support opportunity
• Recent podcast episodes featured Kershawn Tha Don with Naj Ahead and Dom Cruz with TEEDOTEINSOF
• More episodes are currently in production with exciting guests
• New feature allows listeners to text feedback through the "Be a Homie" link
• Podcast is best experienced on YouTube or Buzzsprout due to Spotify's music restrictions

Make sure, if you make music, you share your music. Don't be scared to share it. It does nobody any good if you just keep it on the hard drive. Let the people hear what you're creating.
