THE GRINDHOUSE RADIO Talks to TVGrapevine
-Tell me a bit about how the show began!
Brimstone: Iâd wanted to do some form of a radio show for quite some time and to be blunt, struck out with the local terrestrial networks. I was actually surprised considering I had a relationship with most of them for many years, so when I heard crickets I knew it was time to move on! I dabbled in the idea of internet radio and began developing âThe Grindhouse Radioâ IP; however nothing seemed to really float my interest. That is until a couple of bright young interns came along and started working with me under my company, Hound Comics, Inc. (Hound Entertainment Group)⦠one being Kim (Adragna). Theyâd both had a background in broadcasting and weâd had such good chemistry in the office and on the road that I asked if they would be interested in potentially doing a show together. They pushed the idea of podcast because it was starting to become a popular form of media â it was a fantastic idea! The three of us sat at an empty desk around a single microphone in the office after hours â no soundproofing, literally in a storefront on a busy road â cars whizzing by in the background⦠and recorded our first episode. I canât tell you what we spoke about that day; but we knew we had something special! Now, going on seven years later⦠Iâm glad I failed the first few times as those seeds were the ones that blossomed a tremendous success!Â
