Ever wonder what it's like to hop from the dynamic airwaves of radio into the calculative world of financial services and back again? Tune in to our latest episode where Dave Cunningham, a man of many talents, sits with me, Carl Richards, to recount his enchanting journey. He opens up about his love for radio discovered at university, leading to a hearty twenty-year career before seeking family stability in finance. But as the allure of broadcasting never waned, Dave's retirement became the birthplace of "The Kingstonian," his podcast that unwraps the stories of individuals fueled by passion. His venture is a testament to the power of genuine conversations and a yearning to craft content on his own terms, far from the rigid timings of traditional radio.

This episode isn't just a walk down memory lane; it's a masterclass in the art of the interview, something I’m passionate about. Dave and I exchange battle stories and tactics for drawing out the most compelling narratives from our guests, shaping conversations that spark and flow. We tackle the hurdles of engaging reticent interviewees and share the joy in connecting with a global audience, thanks to the wonders of modern analytics. From a local radio host's unexpected playwright success to the global reach of a retirement hobby podcast, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone curious about the enchanting world of podcasting or simply looking for inspiration to follow their own rekindled passions. So, press play and let us whisk you away into a world where conversation is king and every voice has the potential to echo across continents.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
