Dear Blubrry Community,
It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating news that our founder and CEO, Todd Cochrane, has passed away unexpectedly at the age of 61. Todd left us suddenly on the morning of Sept. 8, after spending treasured time with his children on the West Coast.
Todd wasn’t just the founder of Blubrry — he was the heart and soul of our community. Since 2005, he dedicated himself to building tools, services, and opportunities that would help podcasters of every kind find their voice. His passion for podcasting and technology was unmatched, and his drive to support creators is what made Blubrry what it is today.
For those of us who knew him, Todd was more than a leader. He was a mentor, a cheerleader, and a friend. He deeply valued the Blubrry community and often spoke about how grateful he was for all of you—our podcasters, partners, and listeners—who helped bring his dream to life.
We know this news is shocking and painful. As we grieve, we also commit to carrying Todd’s vision forward. Together as a team and community, we will continue to grow, create, and support podcasters, just as Todd always believed we could.
In the coming days, we will share more details about how you can join us in honoring Todd’s memory. For now, we simply ask that you keep his family and loved ones in your thoughts, and take a moment to remember the enormous impact he had on all of us.
With love and gratitude,
💙 The Blubrry Team
