Hi friends,
Happy New Year! It's been a while since my last email, but I'm excited to update everyone on what I’ve been working on. Over the past year, I’ve been building Hi Barr, a premium nonfiction entertainment studio that’s bringing the past forward with a focus on the history of pop culture from 1960 to 2010—starting with podcasts.
This December, I shared the an essay introducing Hi Barr on our newsletter. If you already received it, please ignore the rest of this email. But if you didn’t and you’re interested in receiving updates on Hi Barr’s newest shows; as well as, our weekly “Up To Eleven” newsletter, please click this link to subscribe—it’s free!
I’ve included more information on our first show, You Had To Be There below. The first episode drops in a few weeks, but in the meantime, we’d appreciate it if you could listen, rate it 5 stars, and share with all of your friends.
Thank you!

You Had To Be There - Trailer
I’m excited to share the trailer for our debut podcast, You Had To Be There—coming to all podcast platforms in just a few weeks.
You Had To Be There is a first-of-its-kind podcast where we’re taking listeners back to iconic moments in pop culture history where…you had to be there. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill podcast…it’s a journey to the past in a race against time to land the interview and get the story.
Each episode, we’re giving a different host an assignment: Find and interview an eyewitness to an iconic moment in pop culture history…in just 48 hours.
The Catch? Hosts have no clue what their assignment will be—so it's impossible to prepare. It’s about learning in real-time, working the phones, talking to experts, calling friends, and figuring it out…all to LAND THE INTERVIEW and GET THEIR STORY! We’ve covered some of the most iconic moments in music, movies, sports, television from 1969 to 2000 where…you had to be there, but we’re not going to spoil the surprise right now. That wouldn’t be any fun, would it?
We’re excited for you to listen this January and would appreciate if you listen, follow/subscribe to the feed, and rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. If you follow/subscribe (free) now, you’ll receive the episode the moment the first episode drops in mid-January.
As always thanks for reading, I really appreciate it. If you have any questions, thoughts or need anything, please let us know.
Best!
