Dear Amazing Content Creators,
We lost someone dearly who has been supporting me and LivePodcast Media, Todd Cochrane, the CEO of Blubrry and Raw Voice.
His tireless support for the last years was tremendously admirable in every event and programme that LivePodcast Media created, including the ones that have been rescheduled, LivePodcast Awards with Rob Greenlee as the lead judges, LivePodcast Insider which will be relaunched in January 2026, and Bali LivePodcast Summit. We had our last meeting last Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025, preparing all of these events and programs, including our plan for us to speak on the stage of Podfest in January 2026 with Rob Greenlee.
It's shocking to know him gone when Rob Greenlee informed me right away after I returned from the studio interviewing Tim Gillette of Simple Easy Websites before I also knew it from others. We'll continue our programs and events, as I know this is what he wants personally – that he recorded videos of support as a sponsor and all for us and LivePodcast Media, which he hasn't had the chance to send me yet. Now I understand why it never comes to my email. We should be in 100 Days LivePodcast (where I mention his name and Blubrry everyday) this Friday, September 12th, 2025, for our schedule, but he went away too fast.
He and Blubrry have been supporting me even when I haven't started my podcast. He did not care whether I have big followers or not... big audiences or not! He only cares to support me in my live streaming journey without any agendas. I never stop thanking him and Blubrry for this.
He leaves a void with his passing, not only in our upcoming programs and rescheduled events where he holds a leading role but also in the hearts of those who knew him personally and professionally. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and colleagues, especially Rob Greenlee who has been his co-host on the New Media Show, and the entire podcasting and live streaming community.
He leaves a legacy that will be remembered by everyone, not only in the Podcast industry but in every work he has done. May his legacy live on in the countless voices he empowered and the industry he helped shape.
Rest in peace, Todd Cochrane. I'm very sorry you have gone. You'll be missed always.
With love,
Sonya
LivePodcast Media Founder
