In the time I have spent with iHEART I have been able to help launch hundreds of podcasts and create podcast networks in every major market in the United States. The talent at iHEART is the best and it’s been my pleasure to work with them and help them move forward into the world of podcasting. This is not goodbye at all, and I am sure I will be working with iHEART for years to come and I will continue to host ACCESS PODCAST for IHR. This new job will let me focus on select brands and talent, as well as build my own team with some amazing folks."
