When we last spoke to Jay, he was the Chief Content Officer at How Stuff Works. In the 18 months that followed, he continued in that role producing Atlanta Monster and Broken Harts. Meanwhile, Jay had even more big ideas behind the scenes.
In February of this year, he left How Stuff Works to head up a new podcast division of Imperative Entertainment. Gangster House, his first production under the new umbrella, debuted in October, and Boomtown launched earlier this week. Links are included, so you can check those out.
Jay and Matt discuss the current state of podcasting, how he deals with bad ratings, creating studio S.W.A.T. teams, what it takes to tell a great story, Spotify’s year in podcasting, and so much more.

Ben Witte started with Proof Of The Pudding in 1992. 27 years later, he is VP and a part owner. In that time, Proof has grown to be one of the most successful catering companies in the Southeast. You’ve most likely dined on their food at a sporting event or work gathering in recent months.
Ben comes on the show and answers questions almost – mostly seriously for a little over an hour. He’s got a great outlook on business and life and I promise you will be entertained.

I sat down with Atlanta DJ and Producer HxV and had an inspiring and emotional conversation. He grew up fast, spinning in clubs by age 15, and heavily abusing alcohol and drugs. He was immersed in a dangerous lifestyle that led to dysfunctional relationships and near-death overdoses.
He got sober in 2012 and his career flourished. He toured the world and collaborated with artists like T.I. , Diplo, Lil Jon, and The Weeknd.
The unexpected turn of events in this episode was retelling the search for his friend Nilan, AKA SpeakerFoxx, in December of last year.
