Fred Jacobs: 35 Years of Jacobs Media

Fred Jacobs was a guest on Episode 53 in a preview to the
Broadcasters Meet Podcasters sessions at Podcast Movement in
2017. I have always wanted to do an episode where we looked back
at the evolution of his company and a tweet on the 35th
anniversary of the company's creation reminded me that it's a
good time to have that chat. We cover the creation of classic
rock, his transition from the WRIF in Detroit to Jacobs Media,
and his relationship to Buffalo where had a great success, a
small failure, and a life long September 11th memory.


We also talked a bunch about the discipline in writing a daily
blog, the age of acceleration, the importance of non-radio
conferences like the CES and Podcast Movement and the importance
of networking, meeting people and attending cocktail parties.
