Settling into the studio today with Houston radio and marketing guru Joe Pogge, creator of Strike Marketing. Joe talks about the 80's morning radio days in Houston (one of his first radio gigs was Marketing Director at The infamous Q Morning Zoo); audiences and great morning radio show formulas; promotion backstories (like that early viral marketing campaign of 1986 involving The Houston Rockets/The LA Lakers game (#sunglasses #JackNicholson). We also discuss the rise of internet radio stations (like Houston Radio Platinum, one of our shared radio station hangouts); his podcast Smokin' Joe's Driving Range;  current charity work with Rebuilding Houston and more.  If you love to hear media stories from a promotional expert, tune in! 


About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests are in the spotlight, we're talkin'! Refreshingly unscripted and unusually entertaining, listen in as each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz, from where they started to how it's going. Settle into my swanky studio where drinks are on ice and the conversation starters are music + media - always a deal breaker for the rock and roll homemaker!

Listen to Donna every night starting at 9 on Houston Radio Platinum, along with a special program she hosts every Tuesday and Thursday night at 10 called 'Late Night Spotlight'.

New episodes drop every Tuesday. For more on what I'm doing when I'm not podcasting head on over to my Linktree account
