In this most recent episode, host Ryan Cameron tells the story of Tom Joyner, the first African-American to be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame and was the #1 voice of Black radio for over 25 years. Labeled as America’s “Fly Jock,” Tom Joyner earned his nickname because he hosted a morning show in Dallas and an afternoon show in Chicago, which required that he fly back and forth from city to city every day. Born in Tuskegee, Alabama, Tom attended local HBCU Tuskegee University. His first passion was music, and he was even an early member of the Commodores.

Produced by Double Elvis, the 14-episode “Amplify Color” series tells the stories of how trailblazers like Charlamagne tha God, Wendy Williams, Big Boy, Sway Calloway, and more have left an undeniable impact on the radio industry.
