For whatever it’s worth, ⁦@DynastyPodcasts⁩ released our first video podcast in 2006. https://t.co/osiut06O4r

17 years ago tonight, I released the first episode of @DynastyPodcasts.

I was hosting a party in Wicker Park and attendees could plug their iPod into my laptop to download that first podcast. That's how long ago this was.

Back then there was basically no structure for independent digital media creators. It was the wild west if you were launching your online brand. Which didn't even exist as a term back then. It was just a lot of trial and error for making and releasing things online.

[Jaime Black @jaimeblack]

It's hard to fully wrap my head around just how much launching @DynastyPodcasts in 2005 has changed my life. Too many ways to list here. But if you're thinking about developing/releasing your own creative work online, please do! You never know what doors it can open for you.

1/2: Today is National Radio Day. Long story short, 13 years @Q101Chicago working with Chris Payne was an invaluable learning experience that sets me up to launch @dynastypodcasts in 2005 (now in its 17th year) and serves as the foundation for the rest of my career.

2/2: Developing my own podcast, then podcast network, then digital media startup gives me the tools to work with Chicago institutions like Columbia College Chicago, Crain's Chicago Business, and more. All of that starts with almost a decade and a half in radio. So thanks radio!

.@MetroChicago's 40th seems like a great time to share my @DynastyPodcasts interview with Joe Shanahan and then-art director Ryne Estwing at (M)'s 30th anniversary Metrospective event in the Loop.

This is my favorite podcast out of my entire career.

This will be my first time hosting my Podcasting 101 workshop in a live setting in 2022. It’s also the only live date I have scheduled as of now. It’s *ALSO* a totally revamped version of my workshop to reflect podcasting in 2022! So you should really come out for this!

On this day in 2012, I bought my first pro audio equipment for recording @DynastyPodcasts. I wrote a little bit about how four mics and an audio interface changed my life this past decade.
