Steve Dahl When You Want Him Where You Want Him
Award-winning Radio Host Launches The Steve Dahl Show App in the iPhone App Store
CHICAGO --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chicago legend and more than 30-year radio veteran, Steve Dahl, is going mobile with the launch of The Steve Dahl Show iPhone App to go with his recently launched daily podcast.
On September 8th, broadcasting icon Steve Dahl and CBS Radio partnered to launch a one-hour daily podcast featuring Dahl's 'every guy' take on life incorporating many of his friends and former guests of his radio show. The podcast, already ranked 17th in the podcast comedy section of iTunes and featured on the iTunes podcasting front page, now has its own iPhone App.
In addition to the convenience of receiving the daily podcast directly to your iPhone or iPod Touch wherever you are connected, App users now have access to exclusive weekly show outtakes, extended guest interviews, news updates and one click capabilities to communicate with Steve and the show. Steve provides App users with behind the scenes and off-air content creating a mobile studio-pass for each user no matter where they are. The App is a one-time purchase of $2.99 and can be found in iTunes.
A master storyteller, Steve plays host to the world from his suburban Chicago catacombs. It's a chance to hear the man who invented his generation's form of funny, sexy and sardonic talk radio at his very unplugged best. Join Steve each weekday for his skewed take on everything from current events to his own bad habits. Dahl fans enjoy his willingness to explore and expose new music and his general take on life through a comic prism.
"Want to hear a grown man playing radio station in his basement with his imaginary friends? Now there's an app for that!," quipped Dahl, 54.
The Emmy Award winning Dahl makes regular television appearances, writes a weekly column for the Chicago Tribune in addition to blogging on his Web site and Tweeting. Dahl previously hosted his self-titled morning show on CBS RADIO's WJMK-FM from 2007-2008. Prior to that, he was the long-time anchor of afternoon drive at WCKG-FM before that station changed to a music format.
The Steve Dahl Show App was developed in partnership with Wizzard Media and The Steve Dahl Show Podcast is distributed by Wizzard Media, the world's largest podcasting network.
