Started in October, 2005, the Golf Gear News show has continued to expand its listenership and increase its downloads. The bi-weekly 20-25 minute podcast hosted by Bruce Stasch, the self-described Golf Gear Guru, has been entertaining listeners with segments like Golf of the Weird, She Golfs Too, Mythbusters, Golf Around the World and Interviews with the Guru.
"I've really been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve been receiving from the golfing public. As more and more of them find us, we’ve been tailoring the show to the kind of topics they find appealing," said Stasch. "They especially like the offbeat and more obscure subjects we report on such as the Golf Pond Bodycount (so far, three), the Geese Police, and when I commented on the Exploitation of Michelle Wie."
Just this Spring, the Golf Gear News show was a featured site on Podcast Free America and ranks as tops in the golf category on Podcast Alley, the web's largest directory of podcasts. Stasch has been heard on the TravelGolf.com This Week podcast and Rita Maloney's Sports Saturday show on WCCO-Radio, Minnesota's largest talk station. The show has also been a very popular subject with the local Minnesota business media too, appearing in Twin Cities Business and Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.
Earlier this year, Business Week online also named 10 sports podcasts, including Stasch's Golf Gear News, as the best on the web.
