Buzz Knight: Crafting Podcasts That Connect

I reconnect with Buzz Knight to explore the evolution of Buzz’s podcasting journey and his growing audio network. Buzz traces the roots of his “Takin a Walk” podcast from its original in-person, outdoor concept—where he literally walked and talked with guests—through the practical challenges of weather and audio quality, to its current virtual format with a strong focus on music-centered storytelling. Leveraging his radio experience both on air and in programming, Buzz explains how classic broadcast skills—crafting narrative, building anticipation, and smart promotion—translate directly into podcasting. He describes his partnership with iHeart, crediting executive Julie Talbot for championing the show and helping amplify it across the company’s powerful marketing and sales infrastructure. Buzz also details the expansion of his network under Buzz Knight Media Productions, including “ Music Saved Me” with Lynn Hoffman and i ts spin-off “Comedy Saved Me.” He talks about “Taking a Walk Nashville” with Sarah Harrelson as an embedded local host, citing Nashville’s unique creative energy and her drive, coachability, and self-starter mentality. Throughout, Buzz emphasizes the joy of music discovery—spotlighting independent artists and unexpected career pivots—and reflects on the significant but rewarding workload of running multiple shows. Looking ahead, he teases a new concept at the intersection of music and true crime, while stressing the need to grow thoughtfully rather than endlessly add more podcasts.
