Rob Greenlee is a Podcast Hall of Fame inductee (2017) and global new media leader who bridges podcasting’s roots with its AI-driven future. With more than 26 years of experience as an executive, creator, and strategist, Rob helps professional audio and video creators grow, monetize, and future-proof their work through practical frameworks, partnerships, and platform innovation.

For more than a decade, Rob co-created and hosted the influential “New Media Show” with Todd Cochrane, who passed away recently. Together, they shaped industry conversations about podcasting’s evolution, technology innovation, and the future of independent creators, helping define much of the professional discourse around podcasting as it matured from niche to mainstream.

As Chairperson of the Podcast Hall of Fame at PodcastHall.com and a former Founding Chairperson and Treasurer of The Podcast Academy (Ambies.com Awards), Rob continues to champion professionalism, transparency, and innovation in podcasting while upholding the medium’s core values of authenticity, openness, and creator independence.

His expertise spans content development, distribution, creator relations, and monetization strategy.

Rob’s online media journey began in 1999 with the WebTalk World Radio Show, which aired on terrestrial radio and later on XM Satellite Radio. On September 15, 2004, WebTalk became the first broadcast radio show in the world to release as an RSS-based podcast. His past projects also include the Zune Insider Podcast and the 186-episode Spreaker Live Show.

Beyond his media work, Rob is a frequent keynote speaker, moderator, and panelist on topics such as creator strategy, AI’s impact on media, audience development, monetization, and the future of spoken content.
