The Philly 60

by Erik Coombs, posted in Blog 1

The Philly 60 is the name of a Philadelphia local Hip-Hop/Rap radio show that I started through Temple Universities radio station WHIP.

I learned how to be a radio host by joining Premiere Radio with my co-host Payton Payola where I was christened with the name easy-e.

Unfortunately, Payton had a-lot of school work on her plate and she left the show to me. I never really enjoyed hosting by myself, it felt very lonely.

So, to solve that problem I started to invite guests. Then the Philly 60 was born.

After getting practice interviewing guests and featuring new music, I decided to make a strict production schedule that involved shooting photos, videos and promotion.

I followed this production schedule and produced 2 seasons of The Philly 60. All of the episodes are on my Youtube channel. Below are a few of my favorite!
