September has been a time of both reflection and celebration for the Blubrry Podcasting family. On Sept. 8, we said goodbye to our beloved founder and CEO, Todd Cochrane — a pioneer, visionary, and friend to countless podcasters. Todd’s impact on the podcasting industry is immeasurable, and his spirit will forever inspire those who create, share, and amplify their voices.
Todd was not only the driving force behind Blubrry but also an icon in the podcasting world. As an inaugural inductee into the Podcast Hall of Fame, he helped shape the medium into what it is today. His mission was clear and unwavering: podcasting should be accessible, sustainable, and rewarding for creators everywhere.
Honoring Todd Through Celebration
Today, Sept. 27, Blubrry celebrates its 20th anniversary. This milestone was one that Todd deeply looked forward to, and it is only fitting that we honor him as we celebrate two decades of empowering podcasters. We invite you to join us for our Office Hours at 4:30 p.m. ET on International Podcast Day, Tuesday, Sept. 30, to share your stories and anecdotes about Todd and Blubrry.
We also encourage you to check out our Facebook page to share your photos with Todd and tell us your Tales with Todd in celebration of his life!
For 20 years, Blubrry has been a home for podcasters of every background and style. Our platform has been built on the values Todd instilled — innovation, reliability, and above all, community. Through his leadership, Blubrry became not just a hosting service but a partner in every podcaster’s journey. We are proud to carry forward his legacy and ensure that his voice continues to echo through every story told.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on the next 20 years. Todd’s vision will continue to guide every decision we make, from innovation in hosting and monetization to expanding the ways podcasters can connect with their audiences.
We are grateful to each and every podcaster who has been part of this journey. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just started, you are the heart of Blubrry. Todd’s legacy lives on through you and through the stories you tell.
On behalf of the Blubrry team, thank you for celebrating 20 years with us. Together, let’s honor Todd’s memory and carry forward his passion for podcasting into the future.
