276 - Long Hours, Low Pay and Legendary Music w/ Rob Miller, co-founder of Bloodshot Records
Episode 276
Monday, 12 January, 2026
In this episode, we talk with Rob Miller, co-founder of Bloodshot Records and author of The Hours Were Long, but the Pay Was Low (3 Fields Books, 2025). Rob shares stories from the early days of building an influential indie label, the realities of DIY music culture, and what it really took to survive on passion, community, and very little money. It’s an honest, funny look at the long hours behind independent music—and why it was all worth it. Rob is a Detroit native so of course we discussed Disco Demolition Night (Rob has an interesting angle as a Tiger fan) and why Lou Whitaker is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame.Rob Miller's website: https://www.robmillerwriting.com/Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmillerwriting/Rob Miller's Bloodshot playlist: https://tinyurl.com/Bloodshot011226Please consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.
