Have you ever heard those crazy stories about musicians who would include ridiculous requests in their riders, like Van Halen and their brown M&M clause? Ever wonder exactly what a rider is, and if you need one?
While you don't need to go the Van Halen brown M&M route, a speaking rider is still a good idea. On today's solo episode I explain what a rider is, why you should have one, and why sometimes those ridiculous requests have a good reason behind them!
You'll hear about all of that and much more on the 85th edition of The Speaker Lab.
THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW:
- The important reason Van Halen didn't want brown M&Ms backstage.
- What I include in my rider, and what you should you include in yours.

- Should you include your rider as part of the contract, or separate?
- How to walk the fine line between making requests and being demanding.
- What is the point of having a rider?
