The ten-year anniversary of the “Now Hear This Entertainment” podcast is celebrated today, February 17, 2024, by its creator and host, Bruce Wawrzyniak. The show features interviews with guests who are having success in entertainment, primarily music.
Episode 522 came out on Wednesday (February 14), meaning that a new episode has been delivered on-time, every week since the show launched back in 2014.
“I’m proud to hit this milestone and to have never missed once,” said Wawrzyniak, the president of Now Hear This, Inc. “I’m grateful to all the wonderful guests who’ve been on the show over the years, but also to the worldwide listening audience. I always say that without them it might as well just be me and the guest having a telephone conversation.”
The show has gotten listeners from 163 countries around the world and (according to Listen Notes) is one of the top two percent most popular shows out of more than 3.2 million podcasts globally. “Now Hear This Entertainment” has had multiple placements in the iTunes Top Ten (Music category).
Wawrzyniak has become a national speaker on podcasting, including having spoken last month in Orlando at Podfest Multimedia Expo. Plus, he’s booked to speak next month in Los Angeles at Podcast Movement Evolutions.
Guests on NHTE have ranged from Roy Orbison, Jr. to the keyboard player for Aerosmith to the lead guitar player for Garth Brooks to the fiddle player for Taylor Swift to the drummer for Cheap Trick to the bass player for P!NK to the trumpet player for Billy Joel, plus, seven GRAMMY Award winners, two Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, a Las Vegas headliner, three Emmy Award winners, and even participants from “American Idol,” “The Voice,” “America’s Got Talent,” and “The X Factor” (including one singer who won “The Voice”). Guests have come from an array of genres and locales (the latter to include 17 different countries).
