Who is Keith Malinak?
Keith Malinak has been drawn to broadcasting since he was an 8 year old with a modified walkie talkie that he and friends would use to broadcast around the neighborhood in metro Atlanta, Georgia.
Later, as a teenager, he started working in radio and has been in the business ever since.
When the world of podcasting and live streaming opened up, Keith took his inquisitive mind and search for truth to a whole new level, and now takes his audience along on 'deep dives' in this serious pursuit of knowledge every Thursday afternoon.
On Friday afternoons, he hangs out with friends and together they share some laughs as they unwind after a long week.
And you? You're invited to be a part of both worlds!
