There is \"Amplified Radio\" which is an interview show with audio engineers, local artists, and music business professionals with tips on how to use social media, how to book gigs around San Diego, and an ending segment on this week's best SD shows. Each episode also includes some silly games related to being an asshole about music and what politicians listen to in their free time. There is also \"Music Makers San Diego\" hosted by long-time radio guy Gary Lee where he interviews local San Diego talent each week and records 2-4 original songs of theirs in the studio as part of the podcast. Gary is a pro at asking about each artists' songwriting approach, experience in the industry, and future plans.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T06:20:00.896926+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/music-makers-san-diego-5066934"},"episode":{"title":"Music Makers San Diego 192 - Todd Higginson","slug":"music-makers-san-diego-192-todd-higginson","published_at":"2026-07-24T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/music-makers-san-diego-5066934/music-makers-san-diego-192-todd-higginson","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/music-makers-san-diego-5066934","url":"https://amplified-radio.simplecast.com/episodes/music-makers-san-diego-192-todd-higginson-EfPlpdWN","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/97b5b7b4-811c-4e65-a2d5-fd0e5b91b32f/26c8fff5-942c-4ffb-9a1e-8b2fe1648b68/episodes/audio/group/3a13cf67-e9ea-4a9a-8cb3-4d63be76abd4/group-item/8be1edd1-55d3-4511-a6cb-9d26ae3e3772/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=4qtGllHE","summary":"In this latest episode, Gary talks with Todd Higginson about what it was like growing up in the \"Rock and Roll Capital of the World,\" the challenges he sees as an independent artist these days, the songwriter who influenced his songwriting style the most & so much more.
