Background

In 1996, just before graduating from Bentley College, Chapman co-founded an independent film production company, Random Foo Pictures, with good friend Dan Gorgone. Chapman acted in, produced and directed a number of short films, but it was his experience marketing the group's projects that led him to discover the many possibilities of online promotion, networking, and sharing media online.

Chapman has always tried to stay ahead of the curve by utilizing the newest web technologies. He started his first blog in July 2001 and his first podcast in December 2004.

Podcasting

The first podcast Chapman ever listened to was Dave Slusher's Evil Genius Chronicles. [1]

On December 21, 2004, Chapman produced his first podcast: Reality Bitchslap Radio. The format was mostly talk, but Chapman also found time to showcase songs by his favorite local musicians. He soon made the decision to produce a show primarily to promote this kind of underground music. On January 10, 2005, Accident Hash was born. The podcast gained immediate popularity thanks to Chapman's enthusiastic style and his love for "podsafe" music. During the summer of 2005, Hash was one of the first podcasts to be included in the iTunes Podcast directory and it became a featured podcast on PodShow.

In 2006, Accident Hash was voted Best Podsafe Music Podcast at the 2006 Podcast Awards.

In October 2005, Chapman also began producing U-Turn Cafe, a podsafe music podcast featuring acoustic performances which ran until December 2007.

On May 6, 2006, Chapman launched a non-music podcast, Managing the Gray, which "aims to help the business professional, through insights and interviews, stay up to date on what is happening in the world of new media, consumer generated content and no control PR." [2] Regular topics have covered how companies have tried to utilize podcasting and Second Life as marketing tools.

Chapman has become a popular guest and occasional guest host on many other podcasts across the world discussing topics ranging from podsafe music to new marketing. Included in his many appearances is a stint guest hosting Adam Curry's Podshow on the Sirius Stars channel. He has also been a panelist on The BeanCast Marketing Podcast.
