TKFM Quick Hits #28: "R.I.P. James Van Der Beek"
I watched Dawson's Creek. Yes, I said it. Young adult TV drama at its best. ...and James Van Der Beek was an icon of the show. His recent lost battle with cancer just reminds me of how short life is, how quickly we age and weaken, and just how much we should embrace each moment like it's our last. Because you just don't know how long you've got - get out there and get after your dreams! Follow me for more royalty free music: https://timkulig.com/ <...
TKFM Quick Hits #27: "YouTubers: The New Movie Stars"
YouTuber Markiplier took $3M and his almost 40M subscribers and showed the world that you can make $50M on a $3M movie by engaging the support of your follower base. What does this mean for the future of movie making, studios, and independent film? Social media has become the center point for pretty much ALL advertising and promoting, even live shopping creeping into your TikTok feeds. Why not the new frontier for feature-length movie making as well? Eric Schrader and I discuss this, Mr. Beast's Amazon show, and other stuff in this week's TKFM...
EP095: "Driving Updates!"
This week is what the TV sitcom industry calls a "Bottle Episode" - except instead of just 1 room you'll be hanging out w/me in the car! Just a bit of catch up on all things Tim Kulig Free Music. It's been a productive year in a lot of ways so far, but mostly behind the scenes. Although I've released more tracks for use throughout the 1st quarter, I've only produced about a dozen tracks for the 2026 production year so far. It's made me feel like I'm in a bit of a rut next to the...
TKFM Quick Hits #26: "Sometimes, Good Enough is Enough"
When making art, we sometimes fall into these paralysis of analysis rabbit holes, seemingly lost in rewrites, edits, and self-doubt about the final product. It's times like these that you have to finalize a project to the best of your ability, call it "good enough", and move on to the next thing. Turns out, the public will let you know what they like and don't like. If you're having fun making it and it resonates with you, don't overthink it. Just make art and share it! Check out John Brennan here: https://johnbrennan.bandcamp.com/musi...

TKFM Quick Hits #25: "Evolution of Voice Actors in Animation"
One thing that drove me nuts over the years was the removal / replacement of key actors or acting voices in beloved TV shows or series. The infamous replacement of Bo & Luke Duke in The Dukes of Hazard. The genie's voice in Disney's Aladdin direct-to-video versions NOT being Robin Williams. However, there are times when strict adherence to detail and a consideration of the sonic footprint the fans and viewers have come to know and love have really shown that the producers do care about the final product. Kelly and I discuss some examples of this, why as cultu...

TKFM Quick Hits #24: "From Archeology to Audio Books: An Accidental Journey"
Chris Douyard has explored varying jobs and disciplines over the time I've known him. One of the most fascinating arcs for him, for me, has been seeing him move through academia and into voiceover work with audio books. Little did I know in interviewing Chris a few months back that this arc is an even LARGER story, with origins for Chris way back in his early 20s. It's funny how we take these journeys in our careers and lives, and interests wax and wane and find us again - if we haven't fully experienced them. Being open and...
EP092: "The Ron Bonk Interview!"
I had the great privilege and pleasure of interviewing Ron Bonk of SRS Cinema earlier this month!

Key Topics <p...
TKFM Quick Hits #23: "Podcasts Evolving to Video - Pivot"
In this TKFM Quick Hit, Diane of History Goes Bump and I discuss the evolution of podcasting and how many shows are pivoting to include video elements, or full-on video podcast conversions. It's an evolving landscape that is driven by the audiences that enjoy these shows. More and more independent content is evolving in ways that, just a few years ago, we'd never dreamed they would. The creator economy is growing - adapting to the needs and desires of your audience is crucial to adding value and staying relevant in your creative space! Fol...
