"Podcast Pioneer!"
Chaz Rough got in on the ground floor of podcasting in 2005, and today his "YOGAmazing" podcast has over 20 million downloads globally. In an interview recorded at the Podcast Movement convention in Nashville, Chaz shares an insider's take on the early days of podcasting. ( For instance: Dannie Gregorie of Louisville was one of the first to use the term "podcasting" to describe the automatic download and synchronization of audio content.)
Where's Podcasting Headed?
Chaz shares his thoughts on podcasting's explosive growth since 2014, and where—with the recent influx of big money for celebrity-helmed shows—this once scrappy medium might be headed. Chaz also has fun stories about his musical career, from playing legendary punk club CBGB's to the Easter Egg roll at the White House. You read that right.
