CLEVELAND, Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Evergreen Podcasts (Evergreen), a Cleveland, Ohio-based podcast publisher, is proud to announce its most outrageous podcast to date — Retrotone News (Retrotone) — a snappy summary of weekly headlines.
Modeled after Movietone newsreels of the 1930s, Retrotone is chock full of color commentary from beloved host and commentator, Rodge Bigsby. Each show takes listeners on a wild ride through Bigsby's delivery of top stories, opt-editorial, music picks, politics, and hollywood scuttlebut. Retrotone is a infectious flash digest of the news and the makings of one blockbuster short-form podcast.
Rodge Walker Bigsby was born to read the news. When he was 3, he rode his toy wagonette down to the local AM 1940, and wiggled his way into the booth, unbeknownst to producers of the Capital Hour, an early flash news bulletin featuring top headlines from the Windy City. A magna cum shouty graduate of the Ernie Pyle School of Journalism at Indiana University, Bigsby soon cut his teeth on a chance broadcast internship at CBS. That day, a legend was born.
"Who is Rodge Bigsby? Only the man who made the news minute real again," says Bigsby.
"Retrotone is our way of having fun turning mainstream news on its ear," offered Michael C. DeAloia - CEO of Front Porch Media, "and we're introducing a whole new generation to the way news was delivered decades ago on the silver screen."
