The Breaking Even Podcast is a platform dedicated to supporting and showcasing independent artists on their journey to financial sustainability. In an industry where most artists struggle to cover their costs, breaking even is a major milestone—one that represents creative freedom, resilience, and the start of real independence.
Mission
Our mission is to spotlight the stories, strategies, and struggles of independent artists while equipping them with practical insights and exposure. Each episode unpacks how artists can move closer to breaking even—and beyond—by embracing new models like the Audience Economy, direct-to-fan engagement, and on-chain opportunities.
Host
The show is hosted by Ed Rantz, a rising journalist with a sharp eye for culture, music, and the future of independent artistry. Ed brings a fresh, authentic voice that resonates with both creators and fans, bridging the gap between underground talent and mainstream recognition.
Backed by the Audience Economy
Produced by Audience.vip, the podcast is more than conversation—it’s part of a larger movement to reshape how artists build careers. Each story told on Breaking Even reflects the Audience Economy’s mission: empowering artists to own their audience, control their revenue, and thrive without relying on outdated industry gatekeepers.
Why “Breaking Even”?
For many independent artists, breaking even is the first victory. It means the music can sustain itself. It means the dream isn’t draining—it’s growing. This podcast exists to celebrate that milestone, while inspiring artists to aim higher.
