Rick Shoemaker & Jeff Maxwell host "Breaking In" on KFWB

Those with their sights set on making it in the entertainment business have a new place to get advice and expertise to help navigate the often murky industry waters.

“We had an idea, and they said let’s do it,” says legendary music publisher Rick Shoemaker of his new talk show Breaking In, which he co-hosts on CBS radio’s KFWB 980.  Shoemaker is an icon in the publishing business, most recently holding the position of President at Warner/Chappell Music for 20 years. He was responsible for signing and mentoring many of the pubco’s most successful artists including Green Day, Nickelback, Missy Elliott and many others.   Along with actor, writer and producer Jeff Maxwell, the two host a weekly show offering information, recommendations and anecdotes in an effort to help guide those seeking a career in music, film or television.  The show features a special guest each week as well as a segment called Critique of the Week in which Shoemaker and Taxi founder Michael Laskow evaluate a listener-submitted song.

Breaking In airs on Saturdays from 6:00-7:00PM on KFWB 980.  You can also stream or download the show online from the show’s website. This week’s special guest will be cougar-crooner Mark McGrath.
