Born: May 24, 1948, Staten Island, NY
P.W. Fenton is the host of the popular Podshow podcast, Digital Flotsam.
He is also known as Uncle Jesse, due to the physical similarity to the Dukes of Hazzard character of the same name, and the Satellite Repairman, because of his former duties related to Sirius Satellite Radio. In 2006 his podcast Digital Flotsam won "Favorite Podcast", "Best Produced Podcast" and "Best Storytelling Podcast" in the Podcast Peer Awards. Digital Flotsam was one of the earlier podcasts, originally featuring RIAA-controlled music, until Fenton decided to only feature the work of independent artists who could grant permission for their work to be played. As it currently stands, there is no way for podcasters to freely play RIAA-governed music. Digital Flotsam now features only "podsafe" music such as that featured on the Podsafe Music Network or artists who are free to grant permission directly. Fenton was also responsible for the editing and delivery of podcasts produced by members of Podshow to SIRIUS Stars 102. In May of 2007 Podshow's relationship with Sirius ended, and so did his responsibilities with producing that 4 hour block of programming. He is now responsible for a great deal more of Podshow's audio imaging. He continues to produce the popular Digital Flotsam podcast, and his music podcast Perfect Head.
