Est. 1984 Podcast

I discovered this audio from a 2010 Interview I did with Swordz and was amazed at how it still held up. This interview was done after Swordz had taken some time away from the industry and actually was his first interview in several years. It was broken into three parts in 2010 because... well... youtube was trippin back then, so it will take up Episodes 17, 18, and 19 on the podcast. I think you'l...

After almost 13yrs, Byrd Sanchez and I get to sit down and talk. We'll go over a little bit of everything from his rise into the position of head DJ for Point Blank Entertainment, to the departure of company staples DJ 151 and DJ D-Money and we'll even talk about the impact Ivory has had on his career. Byrd is a very honest guy and I think you all will really enjoy this episode!

Ty Sheeks is quickly becoming a staple in that Jacksonville radio scene and her work ethic is without competition. Today we sit down with the up and coming star to talk about her position in Jacksonville radio, how she got into her role, and some of the challenges she faces as a female in the radio industry.

Brandon has finally gotten DJ Cap on the podcast and in typical Cap fashion, he keeps it all the way real. If you liked the episode with DJ Pretty Ricky, you'll love this one. And yeah... no chance we're ever getting Bigga on the podcast now...lol

This episode is a class in "The Art of the Radio Hustle" with one of the youngest program directors in the iHeart Radio family and her name is Ashlee Young. She'll tell the story of moving across country from Washington (yes the state) to Jacksonville, FL, breaking into the radio game and how her hustle got her to where she is today. Definitely worth checking out!

Brandon returns after some time off to discuss what he's been up to while he was away. Oh and Bigga is probably gonna be mad at him again because he talks about the Diamond Awards and his experience with them...

One of the people I've admired the most in the Jacksonville music scene is Genedotcom because he's so terribly nice. Gene, was kind enough to get on this episode and provide some game to people on what it's like behind the mic in radio. He'll talk about his experiences growing up in the 80s, getting on radio in the 90s, moving into sales and even being fired from the iHeartMedia before eventually...

In lieu of our upcoming political transition, I thought it important to speak on how I feel about Obama and his legacy and properly thank the man who gave so many the sort of hope that I think we have often taken for granted. No guests today, but I think this will be an episode you'll enjoy... BrandonKolbyJacobs@gmail.com IG: @BrandonKolbyJacobs SC: @BKJest1984

This was the first episode without a guest and was inspired by Marisa Mendez's podcast, "Marisa Explains It All," where they discussed the process of running your race and never letter people distract you from your purpose and what's meant for you. Feel free to provide some feedback... BrandonKolbyJacobs@gmail.com IG: @BrandonKolbyJacobs SC: @BKJest1984

Toriono Newkirk AKA Shot Out has been a staple in the Jacksonville music scene for over 20yrs.

Today on the podcast he'll talk about growing up around the Jackson Family (yes, like Michael, Tito and Jermaine Jackson), his formative years an...

On this Seventh Episode of Established 1984 I have my friend Damon Downen on the podcast! Damon has been a diverse character in the framework of the Jacksonville music scene and often isn't as credited for his contributions as perhaps he should be. Today we get a chance to sit down, reflect on his time with New Blood Entertainment and also talk a little bit about his current involvement with the S...

Pretty Ricky Da Great is a staple in the Duval community. And much like me, we share a divisiveness to our personality. Those who love us LOVE US and those who hate us HATE US. Ricky joins me on the podcast today to talk about his rise from Boyz of Poison member to becoming one the biggest DJs in FL. Oh and he talks about getting arrested, a tussle with Ivory Orr and expresses his passion for why,...

On Episode 5 I have one of the great generational rappers in Duval County... BALIZE IS ON THE PODCAST! And in typical Balize fashion, he keeps it real and he keeps it street! He talks about everything from growing up in Duval, not being well received initially because his sound didn't seem "southern" enough, he talks about working with Bigga Rankin and so much more. Make sure you check out his new...

On this episode of THE Established 1984 Podcast I talk about my Top 10 Duval County Mixtapes of ALL TIME. I'm sure this will get some folks talking and debating, but I'm excited to bring this to you all... BrandonKolbyJacobs@gmail.com IG: @brandonkolbyjacobs SC: @BKJest1984
