On this week’s episode Bart talks with Storme Warren about getting into radio at the young age of 13, breaking into the television industry in college, and making the move to Nashville and getting back into radio. Storme touches on some influences that shaped the way he prepared for interviews and the opportunity to interview some of his biggest idols.
Meet Storme Warren:
Storme Warren is an American television and radio broadcaster best known as the host of The Storme Warren morning show on SiriusXM's channel The Highway.
Warren has joined WhereverTV as a brand ambassador. He will host his own Over The Top (OTT) platform based channel called "StormeTV." The first show, called "Storme's Corner," will feature unedited and unscripted interviews with top country musicians.
Storme also created Stone Beaver productions where he produced the popular entertainment news magazine show Headline Country which aired on the GAC Television network for 12 years. His television career began as a segment producer on CNN's Showbiz Today, and then on to TNN Country News and This Week in Country Music as an entertainment reporter.

In February, 2020, Warren was given the "BMI Ambassador Award" to recognize his support and promotion of Nashville's vibrant songwriting community.
What Bart has to say: Storme went from working at radio station at 13, then to CNN, TNN, Headline Country on GAC and now Sirius XM’s The Highway. It’s just fun to see one of the good guys to do so much good and do good in the community not only with country artists, but with songwriters. I’m so glad we’re buds.
