Atlanta Radio: Cadillac Jack, Wife Launching Lifestyle Podcast


Cadillac Jack is developing a new podcast with his wife Donna, his first public venture since Country WKHX Kicks 101.5 let him go in July with no explanation.The couple has teamed up with Appen Media Group for a twice-a-week lifestyle podcast.

According to Rodney Ho at ajc.com, the show debuts January 7 and he hopes to do many of the podcasts on the road so he can meet up with fans and listeners. In an interview Friday, Caddy - who was with Kicks 101.5 for most of this 26 year radio career - said the podcast will be a potpourri.

“It’s going to be a combination of everything,” he said. “Raising kids, balancing work/life, current events. There will be a lot of listener engagement and games.”

He hopes to tap his country radio contact list and have guests on as well. And he’ll be able to tell stories he said he avoided saying on Kicks because the general rule there was not to paint country artists in a negative light. And two topics that were verboten on Kicks he may tackle as well: politics and religion.

He promises more details this week with links to pre-subscribe.

He expects each podcast to last about 45 minutes and will solicit sponsors from his many connections from his Kicks days such as Carl Black Automotive.

Caddy was inspired in part to do the podcast with his wife after the success of Jeff and Callie Dauler, whose inspirational daily Upside podcast started over the summer with big numbers. Dauler launched the podcast with his wife after he was let go by WSTR Star 94.1 in the spring.
