The Launchpad Podcast

Discover New and Emerging Artists

The Launchpad is the Ohio University Music Industry Summit's official podcast. Our artist discovery podcast is recorded live annually at the Music Industry Summit to highlight the music and stories of emerging artists. 

In partnership with the Scripps College of Communication's Masters of Fine Arts program, student David Oyuke hosted the first season of the podcast to produce eight outstanding episodes, featuring a variety of artists and bands across genres. 

A second season of The Launchpad is being planned and will be recorded at the 2025 Music Industry Summit taking place on March 26-27, 2025. More information will be forthcoming for artists and bands to apply for this opportunity. 

Check Out Season One

Each of the eight episodes of season 1 of The Launchpad are around 15 minutes long, so they're quick and insightful listens! Episodes are available on both YouTube and Spotify.
