We’re looking for the first 20 shows to premiere and promote directly to the industry. “There are a LOT of AMAZING podcast shows out there done by ALL hosts but when it comes to black hosts, shows they are often lost in a plethora of other podcasts and it’s a lot of work to find the shows that are of specific interest to African Americans.” stated Kevin Ross, COO of Radio Facts (radiofacts.com). “I’ve been trying to assemble a podcast site for six years even BEFORE the trend caught on because I saw the potential but I foolishly waited for others who did not see the vision, to come on board and time was waisted.” Ross went on to say.
Ross, a former radio DJ, Program Director and industry liaison hosts his own podcast, a series of vignettes called “Pennies from Kevin” where he gives advice to enhance the lives and experiences of listeners.
WHAT PODCAST PORT IS ABOUT…

We want everyone and everything in the African American community from Small Business, Hip Hop, Women, Men, LGBT, Church, Parenting, Comedy, Real Estate, Cultural Concerns, Education, Entertainment, Money Matters, Music Industry to people who want the industry to hear their ideas for potential new shows and we plan to use our unique channels and our database to market the shows directly on our Number One radio industry site RADIO FACTS.
HOW TO PODCAST
Ross states that the site will also post news, tips and profiles in podcasting via the blog on PODCAST PORT. In addition, the site will also offer some direction to clients who subscribe, on how to do the best podcasts and tips on improving their shows.
