Press Release Body =

Old Time Rock n Roll

For Immediate Release:

Six months ago, 64 year young, Lee Douglas began to translate his love for the music
of the 50\'s and 60\'s lovingly called Oldies, into a new medium, the pod cast.
Together with the folks at Talkshoe.com, he began his venture into the new medium.

His new show, which he called \"Old Time Rock n Roll, would be different in the way
it was presented. The usual play lists that are the hallmark of the Oldies AM radio
stations were out the window. His own collection of 12,000 songs would be digitized
into his computer to lay the groundwork for the show. Instead of playing those songs
which the oldies lovers had grown tired of, he opened his collection and played the
songs that haven\'t been heard for many years. Then he would have a spotlight for
each show, Novelties on one, doo wops on another, rockabilly on yet another. Each
show replete with a dose of rock history and reminiscences
Douglas researches each singer and each song to provide background for each show. In
November 2006 he went on the air on talkshoe.com an internet based pod casting
network. The first week he had 8 listeners. Obviously his friends had at least
listened. By the third week he managed 80 listeners, still quite a jump. However, he
was unprepared for the next week when out of nowhere 800 people listened in.
Since then his show has grown to an astounding 25,000 listeners in one month.

His web site http://www.wrestlingwrap.com, is the host to Old Time Rock n Roll.
Douglas' Brooklyn bred voice can still be heard, even though he has been a Floridian
for thirty years. He actually still takes requests and dedications just like in the
old days through his e mail address -Oldtimernr@hotmail.com
Where does he go from here? His plans are to as he puts it, \"take it the next
level.\" He says he would like to garner an even larger audience and eventually try
his hand at bringing some live oldies and doo wop shows around the country. But that
is a long way off.

Douglas a retired teacher who has spent 35 years in the classroom is glad to try
something new. "I want to be my own boss". "Now I can enjoy life and do something I
couldn't do before. That's what makes retirement a treat for me."

His focus is to make Old Time Rock n Roll even bigger and better with each passing
week. With his success also means success to his pod casting network called
Talkshoe.com. Douglas predicts that podcasting will be the biggest new media in the
next few years.

Talkshoe differs from other pod casting sites because they actually pay the pod
casters instead of the other way around. For information on Old Time Rock n Roll log

In Lee\'s own words, \"What a way to start out 2007 with the most popular new oldies
program around.\" 25,000 listeners must agree.
