Loading ...Can you believe it? Adam Carolla actually comes from a long line of successful podcasters dating all the way back to his great-grandfather. Although it makes for a humorous story, this isn’t exactly how Carolla rose to podcasting fame.
Truth be told, he began his podcast after he got axed from his CBS Radio show. In this interview from BlogWorld, he tells WebProNews that he didn’t even know what a podcast was until that time.
Although podcasting is a relatively new medium, it didn’t take long for Carolla to make a splash in the podcasting world. During the second week of his podcast, 2.4 million downloads were reported. His podcast was also name the #1 audio podcast by iTunes in 2009.
“I’m flattered that people think of me as some kind of podcast pioneer,” says Carolla.
He also points out, “If people like to give me more credit than I deserve, I’m always willing to take it.”
While the founder of ACE Broadcasting does not believe that traditional and new media are entirely different, he does say that new media platforms have many challenges. Most of these challenges are due to the fact that podcasting is still new and monetizing anything “new” is always difficult.
Fortunately, he has seen improvements among advertisers over the last six months.
Carolla is currently performing at multiple Improv clubs across the U.S. He also has a book due to come out November 2, entitled, In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks.

Engaging and different yet relevent, that’s how marketing is done.
I m looking forward to read the new book!
Nice imijinasi of indoensia
Hahaha. I remember he made fun of Manny Pacquiao one time which made him famous among the Filipinos. It was a great way to get noticed.
I love this man. I’ve been following him since Loveline. I listened to his radio show and am with him now on the podcast.
I will never get tired of hearing him. I love me some Adam. So SEXY!
I think Abby Johnson (the interviewer) is in love with Adam Carolla!
BTW, what’s with showing a lame old stock photo of a computer when Adam mentions a computer, a picture of a hamburger when Adam mentions a burger (etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum)? Is that supposed to be entertaining? I’d say the time spent adding that stuff is time wasted. It just seems weird.
Yup, I met Adam while at BlogWorld as well. He is just as you see him in the video. He did not hesitate to take a photo with me either.

Adam Corolla is SUCH a bore. They fired him from his radio show cause he’s as dry as a blowtorch (and that’s why he didn’t get a late night show after “The Man Show” as opposed to his co-host, Jimmy Kimmel). I wouldn’t imagine ANYONE listening, or worse, PAYING/Advertising on his show. I’ve already heard 6 and a half minutes of this video, and still have NO CLUE what he’s talking about, with his lame joke of his grandfather being a blogger/podcaster and football, eating ostrich burger, or a cow, etc.. etc.. nothing but a bunch of lame jokes. Someone ought to tell him to go back to carpentry! We’re too smart to even crack a smile for his lame jokes. And look at the interviewer, she seems so bored, yet she’s forcing a nervous smile here and there as courtesy
Nice job slinging falsehoods. He wasn’t fired from his radio show you boob. The station was sold. Oh yeah, he actually did have a late night show. I hate facts.
