Penny Haynes, of 1st Podcast Publishing interviews Bruce Chambers of the Long Island Podcast Network. Bruce Chambers is a musician of 34 years playing sax and keys (check out brucemusic.com). In 1999, Bruce's song Jodi was the top downloaded song in the smooth jazz category on MP3.com.

In June 2005, right before podcasting picked up in popularity, Bruce got an urge to become a radio DJ, but never thought he could break into broadcasting since it takes too long to become a broadcaster and too much money to buy broadcasting equipment. Live365 was the answer at the time, but they were too expensive to belong to. Podcasting's popularity followed and the rest is history.

In September 2005, Bruce's first podcast was a simple one on saving gasoline during the US gasoline price hike. Then, his next podcast was on web design. As an unsigned musician who has sold his jazz CDs in over 45 countries worldwide, Bruce's first podcast series called the Fresh Music Series went live in December 2005 and was designed to promote unsigned talent.

After the Fresh Music Series yielded over 750 subscribers in its first month from simple promotion on web sites like Craigs List, Bruce decided to find other podcasters to list on his web site and the Long Island Podcast Network was born. Now, from the success of the Long Island Podcast Network, ironically, Bruce has been asked by several local college radio stations to become a DJ and his show airs every Saturday on WebRadioWCWP.com, CW Post Campus of NYU. Bruce is also working with Richie Canatta, Sax Player for Billy Joel on the Battle of the Bands Podcast Competition. Bruce is married with a 3 1/2 year old daughter.
