The Speakeasy
Raising A Glass To Heritage Radio Network Badass Jack Inslee
It's a bittersweet day on The Speakeasy, as hosts Damon Boelte and Sother Teague bid adieu to Heritage Radio Network's Executive Producer Jack Inslee, who's moving to D.C. but staying firmly in the radio world. Just before the goodbye party kicking off in Roberta's own backyard, the glasses were already clinking in the studio as Jack told the story of his career and the network's early days.
"All the people at Heritage, none of them were media trained professionals who were like 'I've got a long career in radio and I'd like to apply for a radio show.' Nah man, we have real f*****g practitioners, like people doing stuff." [06:55] – Jack Inslee
"[Starting at HRN] I didn't know the first thing about the first thing about food or beverage. My idea of a good drink was like, a handle of Maker's. 'Gonna treat myself and get the Maker's, not the Evan Williams.' That was my idea of luxury." [11:07] – Jack Inslee
"This whole network is kind of like free food studies, free culinary studies, you know? Put your time in!" [13:00] – Jack Inslee
