Rich Bennett Podcaster

I'm a Marine Corps Veteran, Professional DJ, Entrepreneur, and Professional Podcaster.

I started the podcast “Harford County Living” in 2015, 3 years after launching the positive news website harfordcountyliving.com. A few years later I started getting requests from people outside of Maryland to come on the show as guests and the podcast became “Harford County Living with Rich Bennett”. Needless to say, more requests came in and a few people suggested to me that I needed to expand the podcast and change the name again and “Conversations with Rich Bennett” was born.
