5 years ago today, I published the premiere episode of Beyond The Spotlight as an experiment! There was no real agenda, no marketing plan, no sponsors. But there WAS a genuine interest in learning more about the unsung hard-working people in music, TV, and theater making the show possible for fans like you! I thought "heck, if I'M interested, maybe other people would be too!". And thus, a podcast was born on December 5th, 2019! 🎉
By the time the summer of 2021 rolled around, it became more and more difficult to find the time to research, record, edit, and format these episodes on a regular basis. So I took what I thought would be a temporary hiatus from producing shows. As it turns out, I haven't gotten back on the saddle since. Maybe someday I'll resurrect the podcast, but for now enjoy the past episodes that are still available in all the usual outlets!
46 episodes and almost 5,000 downloads in 67 countries over 6 continents. Not a bad run for a nobody without a plan! 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks to all the fantastic gracious guests I've had along for the ride, especially David '5-1' Norman who hooked me up with so many quality folks!
