Acoustic Lounge on KSFS
Encyclopedia
The Acoustic Lounge on KSFS is a current podcast
and former radio show based in San Francisco, California. The radio show was first broadcast live on September 21, 2006. During the show's first seven months, it was strictly a weekly two-hour program that featured both up and coming acoustic singer-songwriters and similar major label recording artists. In February 2007, the show interviewed recording artist Matt Wertz
for its first online podcast. The podcast features sit down interviews with artists and their music. It has interviewed Academy Award winners, BRIT Award winners and Grammy Award winners. Each podcast also displays live music from the artist's current tour and will often feature live recordings of their San Francisco performance. During the podcast's first week of release it was advertised on the front page of the iTunes Podcast store
. The podcast has peaked at number 12 in the music podcast top 100. After its initial success, the show has built a strong, steady following with subscribers and listeners in all 50 U.S. States and over 40 countries worldwide.
Since the first Artist Spotlight podcast in March 2007, the Acoustic Lounge has adopted two other forms of podcasts into its rotation. The Artists To Watch podcast features three to four artists who are on the verge of releasing a new record or preparing to tour nationally in the United States. Interview
s are conducted over the phone and two to four songs from each artist are featured. The Just Music podcast provides what its title suggests; just music. Ten songs by ten musicians are featured without any interviews. Songs included in Just Music often focus on new tracks from well-known artists in the United States as well as hits from lesser known or foreign artists. On September 17, 2008 the Acoustic Lounge released its first On Air podcast. The episode is a recording of the Acoustic Lounge's September 15, 2008 live broadcast on KSFS radio.
The last live broadcast of the show occurred on Monday, November 17, 2008 on 88.1 KSFS, the radio station of San Francisco State University
. The podcast provides new episodes frequently and is hosted via Podbean.com. The podcast can be subscribed to, free of cost, by using the iTunes
online store. Both the radio show and podcast are hosted by SFSU alum, Andy Tupman. Born in Leicestershire
, England, Tupman grew up in the Greater Manchester
area before moving to Los Angeles, California in 1994. His past radio work includes stints with radio icons Charlie Tuna
and Don Bleu
on their Morning Shows for Clear Channel
in Los Angeles and San Francisco, respectively.
