100 Broadcasts and Running!
We are proud to announce another milestone here at The Marching Podcast Network. On Tuesday, November 26, 2013, we will be broadcasting our 100th episode on The Marching Podcast Network: Chop It Up with Joshua Cousin. We are blessed and honored to reach this milestone and would not have done it without the listeners and our entire staff. We also want to give thanks to all the people that have broadcast shows on our network and all the people that helped with each broadcast directly and indirectly.
We want The Marching Podcast to be a series of positive podcasts that help inspire young people to do great things and make a balanced decision concerning the college they choose to attend. It it also for the adults to have a platform to reach these young people and be a positive benchmark for the rest of the world. Our passion is to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). We strive to provide scholarships to help increase the number of scholarships available and create excitement for HBCU’s. Similar to The Cosby Show and A Different World, we want The Marching Podcast to be that beacon of light and prosperity.
Each podcast has helped with the growth of the network and has also helped bring more listeners to a variety of our network’s other shows. At this time, I want to attempt to say “thanks” to everyone. Thank you to all the shows that have broadcast on The Marching Podcast Network, the people that have helped with audio quality and creative presentation, and last but not least our sponsors and patrons that allow us to broadcast during peak hours (please see the list below for more details). Special thanks to Collin Welbon our Director of Editing, who just recently boosted his career by taking a new job editing for a software company where he lives in San Francisco but will still be able to edit our posts. Another special thanks to all the experts that call in and help me host the 90 Degree Show.

A New Time with Old Aspirations
Thanks to our sponsors that support the show, we have upgraded The Marching Podcast Network to a new membership with Blog Talk Radio. Along with the new membership comes new functionality which allows us to provide a better show to all our listeners. The best part of this membership is the option to broadcast during peak hours of home entertainment. According to the research conducted by Blog Talk Radio, the highest volume of people are at home and in front of a computer during the hours of 7 PM and 11 PM (EST). Currently, we broadcast at 6 PM on Sundays and 11:30 PM (EST) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but our current format creates a conflict on Sundays with the second set of football games and at 11:30 PM most working people are in the bed asleep. So, after some thought, we decided on the new time slot for The Marching Podcast Network. All of our shows will broadcast live at 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays starting in March 2013.
