JimJim's Reinvention Revolution Podcast


Nov 21, 2017

So what were you listening to back in 2004?  Was it "Yeah" by Usher featuring Lil John and Ludacris? I loved that track. Was anybody listening to podcasts back then?  The podcast idea was just getting going with the WebTalk World Radio Show; the first nationally syndicated radio program in the world to start podcasting on Sept 15th,  2004.  Rob Greenlee is the former lead host and recent Podcasting Hall Of Fame inductee. Listen to Rob in episode 14 tell why he started podcasting, what he's up to now with Spreaker.com, why he doesn't drink orange juice anymore.
