TGP 754 Dedicated to Todd Cochrane
Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #753 hosted by Don Baine.
Todd Cochrane, a true pioneer of podcasting and a champion for independent creators, passed away suddenly at age 61 on September 8, 2025. As founder and CEO of Blubrry Podcasting, Todd’s vision and leadership shaped the industry from its earliest days, empowering podcasters worldwide with innovative tools and opportunities.
Honoring Todd’s Legacy
Todd began his career with 21 years in the U.S. Navy, retiring as a Senior Chief Petty Officer before dedicating himself full-time to technology and media.
He launched Geek News Central, one of the first podcasts, and literally wrote the book on the medium in 2005, becoming an inaugural member of the Podcast Hall of Fame in 2015.
As host of The New Media Show and mentor to countless creators, Todd’s generosity, wisdom, and passion lifted an entire generation of podcasters.
A Lasting Impact
Todd’s work, both behind the mic and as an industry leader, created a home for creative voices and built a global community that will carry on his mission and spirit.
Above all, he is remembered not just for what he built—but for his warmth, support, and belief in others.
Todd Cochrane will forever be missed, but his legacy endures in every story, show, and creator he inspired.
Todd was my friend, partner and totally responsible for introducing me to the podcasting world, I will deeply miss him.
