Amplify Color On Howard Stern's Secret Weapon; Underwater Fiction Podcast Heats Up

 

Amplify Color Podcast Discusses Robin Quivers - The Unlikely Co-Host on The Howard Stern Show

Howard Stern met Robin Quivers in 1981 at WWDC FM in Washington, D.C. In 1985, Stern joined WXRK-FM in New York City with Quivers as his co-host, and the "shock jock" has been a controversial radio personality ever since. 

Would Stern be the same without his sidekick Quivers?

Warner Music Group's in-house podcast network, Interval Presents, tried to answer that question in its latest episode of its newest series, "Amplify Color" hosted by Ryan Cameron, a 2x Emmy winner, the host of “Voice of Atlanta,” a member of the Georgia and Black Radio Hall of Fame, and long-time Atlanta DJ. You can listen now on Apple Podcasts and all major podcast platforms, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday. 

 Ryan Cameron tells the story of Robin Quivers. Born in 1952 in Baltimore, Maryland, Robin Quivers began her professional career in the military before rising to national prominence as the unlikely co-host of The Howard Stern Show. Working alongside the most controversial man in radio got her to the Radio Hall of Fame, but the journey wasn’t without adversity, controversy, and even hate from the African-American community.

 Produced by Double Elvis, the 14-episode “Amplify Color” series tells the stories of how trailblazers like Charlamagne tha God, Wendy Williams, Tom Joyner, and more have left an undeniable impact on the radio industry. The next upcoming episodes will discuss the life of Big Boy, the King of the Los Angeles airwaves, and the Bay Area’s own Sway Calloway.

Underwater Fiction podcast releases latest episode
After scoring impressive numbers on the Apple Podcast charts in its premiere week, this week’s new episode of "Underwater,” starring Jason Derulo and Alexandra Shipp, from Warner Music Group’s (WMG) in-house podcast network Interval Presents, has been released on all major podcast platforms.

Listen to the third episode HERE.

Throughout the eight episodes of Underwater, listeners will follow Nico and Ana, whose deep romantic connection is threatened by lies and deception — both Nico’s covert mission and the skeletons in Ana’s closet. The scripted podcast series is a rollercoaster love story told in the form of a narrative album, featuring brand new, original music from Jason Derulo woven into the story and score, creating an innovative and immersive listening experience and making for a groundbreaking event at the cutting edge of audio entertainment.

Nico arrives at the island and checks into the high-end resort Destino where his target Ana is known to be staying. Nico’s got plenty of experience with this kind of gig, and he’s confident his charm will soon have Ana wrapped around his finger. But everything changes the moment he meets her. Because Nico has finally met his match.

What ensues is a passionate and dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, and not even Nico and Ana know where the deception ends and their real feelings begin. As their dark pasts become present threats, they must decide once and for all: will they destroy each other or give each other something to live for?

In the latest episode, listeners jump back 15 years and learn the devastating secret behind why Nico left the island. As the man from episode two catches up with him, both his past and present lives collide. As things continue to heat up with Ana, another suitor emerges, one with an ulterior motive.

Check out Underwater. Derulo and Shipp are incredibly talented in these roles, the sound design is luscious and expansive, and the rest of the cast shines.
