Episode 612: You have a street team or are thinking about starting a street team, we discuss a number of things you need to keep in mind when using a street team. We also discuss how street teams have evolved since the days of posting flyers and show posters. We also remind you that although fan volunteers are great and can be a ton of help, you need to remember they are fans and they need some very clear definitions of what they can and can not do on behalf of the band.
