From ajournalofmusicalthings: “Pop Life” host and entertainment gadfly Richard Crouse is cramped in his spacious home office talking to celebrities in his fabulous hair while he waits for COVID-19 to pass and he can get back to making traditional television. We talk about new media and “In Isolation With”, the revenue power of funeral services announcements, and the secret to a successful interview. Oh, and Alan and Michael have a revolting idea on how to cash-in on Coronapocalypse.
Richard sits on a Zoom panel for Social Media North‘s discussion on the divide between traditional media and New Media. Find out more HERE!

We’ve seen a shift in consumer tastes more toward having a tangible product in your hand (such as a CD) rather than intangible downloads. @RichardCrouse #SocialMediaNorth
Don’t look at your creative work as separate from “a real job.” Better to take your creative career seriously in order to succeed. @RichardCrouse #SocialMediaNorth
From the beginning of his career, @RichardCrouse has found it more productive to ask forgiveness rather than permission. #SocialMediaNorth
