Most podcasts fade after several years. It's no wonder: behind the scenes of every broadcast, be it on terrestrial radio, satellite, or online, artists work long hours to deliver your favorite media fix. Some burn out, and discontinue their shows, while a far lesser number continue on. Today, we bring you a member of the latter category: Dave Warner. By day, he's mild mannered technical writer. At night, he's an influential online presenter, and host of "Dave's Lounge."
