Stitcher Turns the Mic and Brings You Iconic Voices of Radio

Filed under Uncategorized

‘Meet The Talkers’ is about the favorite voices and personalities behind the mics of some of the biggest shows and podcasts. We are chatting with the people who bring us the best news, comedy, sports and entertainment every day. We’ll find out what inspires them, their thoughts on the new frontier of broadcasting and generally have a great time. The show is recorded in the Stitcher studios and is hosted by Steph Walton and Lauren Schiller of The Lady Brain Show. They are bringing years of broadcast experience and a fresh, fun voice.

Stitcher is known for helping listeners discover the best of radio and “Meet The Talkers’ is yet another way listeners can discover new shows and hear their favorite hosts in a brand new way. The results are almost always insightful, funny and sometimes surprising!

Our first episode features Andy Dick and his producer David Nussbaum (Nuzzy). They open up about sobriety, Howard Stern, and his recently-returned podcast, The Shed Show. This show runs from the hilarious to the practical with Nuzzy’s information on the business of podcasting.

Future shows include interviews with the hosts of WNYC’s On The Media and Soundcheck, comedian Ari Shaffir and soccer hall of famer Alexi Lalas.  We’re just getting started so stay tuned. New shows will be available on Stitcher every Tuesday.

You can hear the first episode right here.

We hope you enjoy it!
