Hey, I’m Jacob Bozarth.
I'm a Podcast Strategist with 10+ years of experience helping creators launch successful podcasts. I've worked on shows with millions of downloads, including a true crime podcast that helped bring national attention to a cold case. Today I run Holistic Media, a media studio in Louisville, Kentucky.
My podcasting journey began in 2005 when I converted my parent's bedroom into a studio. Using Windows 95 and dial-up, I downloaded Audacity on our family desktop. I fell in love with audio, eventually earning a degree in recording and production.
In 2014 I founded Resonate Recordings, a podcast production agency. Over the next ten years, our team worked with thousands of creators and produced 16 shows that reached #1. We also partnered with brands like Honda, Amazon, Twitter, and Salesforce.
My work includes hit true crime podcasts, like Culpable and Up and Vanished. I've also helped hobbyists launch passion projects and helped businesses reach new audiences with shows of their own.
