Back about 6 years ago, there was a sweet as shit project called webhostingradio. It was a webhosting show / stream which was broadcast over shoutcast, and was run by a few people from the industry, and wht. Most notably, jbiz, rewdog, and jbiz’s friend who handled prank calls, I wish I could remember his name. The show was a mix of both information, and entertainment, infotainment was what they called it. There were interviews with big names in the industry, ‘news’ from around the industry, and my personal favorite part were the prank calls that they made to both the biggest, and smallest hosts in the industry.

The show predated even rackshack/ev1’s ownership of webhostingtalk. In fact, one show was about rackshack’s buyout of the then-matt freeman owned site.

Towards the end of the original show, jbiz got busy with his life, and everyone simply lost motivation to create the show. After some amount of time, robert marsh of rackshack bought it as well, but on the day when it was due to be relaunched there was a fire at rackshack, and the whole thing was put off for an infinite amount of time. When inet interactive bought webhostingtalk, webhostingradio was thrown in. However, inet didn’t do anything with it until like 2006, but due to lack of support for the project, and lack of organization, that was short-lived.

Here’s the most memorable prank call from the original show, no it’s not me:
