	Ibbott, who wanted to be a disc jockey as a child, began his DJ career at weddings, though was bored with the music selection such venues permitted. A TechTV story he saw in August 2004 got him interested in podcasting. The first "Coverville" podcast was launched on September 28, 2004. "Coverville" passed episode #300 on March 4, 2007 and episode #500 on August 26, 2008, which was celebrated with a "gala" in Las Vegas where fans could meet with artists featured on the show.
