The Donnie Simpson Show Podcast, created by legendary radio personality and Video Soul host Donnie Simpson and produced by premier podcast agency, Podville Media, launched Wednesday with the first three of 10 episodes that feature in-depth audio and video interviews with renowned musicians, comedians, and actors. The Radio Hall of Fame's namesake podcast marks the first time in his 52-year career where he will have ownership of his content. Season one is sponsored by AARP.
Each episode of The Donnie Simpson Show Podcast is an intimate conversation with a creative artist about their life, career, and aspirations. Whether Simpson chats with Smokey Robinson about his most profitable song or gets the dirt from D. L. Hughley about his experience on Dancing with the Stars, Simpson's warmth and enthusiasm disarms guests and gets them talking. Listeners will enjoy lighthearted and honest conversations with Tichina Arnold, the Sugarhill Gang, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Regina Belle, and others. The first three episodes will feature Smokey Robinson, D. L. Hughley, and Tichina Arnold. Future episodes will debut weekly.
He continued: "My podcast, along with the recent revival of Video Soul, is the first time in my career that I will own the content I create. I've worked with outstanding partners throughout my years on the radio but not until now have I been the owner of my voice, my work. It's incredibly gratifying for me and I'm humbled to achieve this personal dream."
The Donnie Simpson Show Podcast is the first Podville Original, a new initiative at Podville Media that allows talent to create, develop, and monetize their content. Podville Media is a proud production partner of the Lincoln Project Podcast, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights' Podcast, Pod for the Cause, ESPN's Undefeated digital productions, and numerous other top-shelf shows. Podville Media will be introducing additional Podville Originals throughout 2022.
"Donnie Simpson was the perfect personality for our first Podville Original, and we're thrilled to help him realize his dream of owning his content," said Oscar Zeballos, Co-Founder and CEO of Podville Media. "As Donnie kicks off his network, we're excited to partner together with our launch of Podville Originals. We're looking forward to helping Donnie build the Donnie Simpson Podcast Network and we're eager to collaborate on future projects with other talented personalities, so they too can create and own their voices and ideas."
