Houston’s newest radio station was born.
Space City Node Radio — a public internet radio station built to feature and highlight the hidden gems of Houston and beyond.
For too long we’ve let the algorithms of corporate platforms decide what’s “good music” and what isn’t. We get force-fed mainstream playlists while talented artists are right here among us, unheard. Satellite radio, iHeart, Spotify, Apple Music — they all line their pockets at the artist’s expense. That’s a dystopian timeline I choose not to accept.
And here’s the thing — people vote with their attention and their wallet. Every stream on Spotify, every hour on YouTube, feeds a system that gives pennies back to the people actually making the music. When’s the last time you bought a digital album directly from an artist? Were you able to download those songs and play them on whatever device you want? Or are you trapped inside Spotify’s walled garden, renting access to music that can be revoked the moment it no longer suits the company’s interests?
This is why I’m building Space City Node Radio — and why I’m working relentlessly on a platform where artists can collect their sats directly from listeners. No middlemen. No algorithms deciding who gets heard.
Step by step. Block by block.
Bitcoin is peer-to-peer for a reason. Cut out the corporate middleman. Support local artists. Go to local shows. Buy music directly. Pay with bitcoin.
