Unsigned bands and artists; we’re here to help you, not hurt you; and while this legalese might seem harsh, it is needed to protect ourselves.

The Radio Misfits Podcast Network® is not attempting to profit from music we play during our shows. However, we need to be held harmless from the possible attempted collection of royalties from BMI, ASCAP, RIAA or any other such entity.  We enjoy helping emerging artists, but without this document we are left open to potential litigation.
