About Me

Hi, my name is Marci and I'm the host of the Insomnia Radio Orlando podcast, showcasing great independent music from Central Florida. The first episode launched July 24, 2006, and I produce a new episode about once a month. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a thing - just click on the iTunes logo below (and best of all, it's totally FREE)!
Official website: IR Orlando
CENTRAL FLORIDA BANDS: Be sure to send me your mp3 song submissions at [email protected] and provide written permission to play each song by filling out the submission form. I play bands from Orlando and all across Central Florida. The show features indie rock, punk, acoustic, electronic, blues, hip hop, alt country and any other cool music I can find.
PLEASE NOTE: I MUST have written permission from you to play your music. I can't play it without you filling out the submission form for EACH song you want to submit! Also - submitting music is no guarantee of play, but I will listen to every submission and play the music I really like. Thanks!
FRIEND REQUESTS: I'll accept friend requests from bands that aren't in Central Florida, but I can't play your music unless you live here. Also, accepting a friend request doesn't guarantee play on the podcast.
If you want to submit your music, but aren't from Central Florida, you can submit it to Insomnia Radio proper, or to the appropriate regional podcast (they're all in my Top Friends list) for your area.
