I love BlogTalkRadio.com . Alan is the oldest/youngest web 2.0 entrpreneur out there and he’s the hungriest old fart I know :) .

It was the FLY of all people to recommend ( more like hey asshat try this out and than bugger off loser) I try out the service for a Wallstrip podcast live streaming show. I did and I than bugged Alan who was not seeking funding (self funded) to let me invest.

Flash forward about 12 months and now Alan has a booming site and corporate deals and a $4.6 million funding. He WILL build a global talk radio internet network. So cool.

Alan has the full details on the company’s blog .
