Parents' Guide to Released

Part entertainment, part commercial, this original series features artists from around the world offering brief details about their lives, their music, and the highs and lows of their careers. Little Bacon Bear organizes each interview into segments, ranging from "Would you rather?" question and answer games, to conversations about artists' individual playlists. In between segments with the showcased artist, the host also throws in some brief conversations and interviews with other performers, highlighting some of their music and activities.

Released will appeal to music fans of all ages, and care is taken to make it age-appropriate viewing for a broad streaming audience. It also introduces viewers to up-and-coming artists, as well as musical performers from all over the world. But like most series of this type, it's a marketing tool. Each new episode premiers at 11:45pm EST, and strategically leads up to the release of the featured artist's new music video at midnight. But If you can look past the commerical component, no doubt folks that tune in will find it enjoyable.
