Channel 19 Experience Trucker Podcast
The Channel 19 Experience Trucker Podcast, hosted by Tony, is a heartfelt tribute to the golden era of CB radio culture—specifically Channel 19, which once served as a vital communication hub for truckers from the 1970s through the early 2000s. Tony, who began his trucking career in the mid-1990s, aims to revive the camaraderie and storytelling that defined that period, before the rise of the internet and smartphones. Each episode blends personal anecdotes, interviews with fellow drivers and industry figures, and discussions on current trucking-related topics. The podcast delves into themes such as trucking traditions, family legacies, industry challenges, and the unique culture of life on the road. The Podcast’s mission is to foster a sense of community among truckers and people in the trucking industry, encouraging listeners to share their stories and experiences. By doing so, he hopes to keep the spirit of Channel 19 alive in the modern age.
