Interview with Jon Myer, Music Manager for BBC 6 Music

Breaking into radio - either on the business side of things or on the playlist - is one of the toughest things to do in the music industry. Lucky for us, Jon Myer, music manager of BBC 6 Music, took some time out to offer advice on all things radio. In this interview, he discusses how he got his start in radio, how you can get a foot in the door, how songs are playlisted and much more (including why he wants your music in CD form).

And don't worry, we're not done peaking behind the scenes are radio. Be sure to stick around next week, when we'll hear from Mike Walsh, head of music at XFM.
