Chad Brown to host kingsnake.com web radio show: First guest is Slayer's Kerry King

Pro football player Chad Brown will make his internet broadcast debut as the host of kingsnake.com's long running web radio series for reptile hobbyists. The announcement was made in a broadcast in December when the then current web radio host, kingsnake.com founder Jeff Barringer, unexpectedly switched places during an interview with Brown on air, letting Brown interview him.

Chad Brown, a former all-pro linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, is a long time reptile breeder and operates Pro Exotics, a reptile breeding business in Littleton, Colo. A long time member of the kingsnake.com community, Chad takes over the reins of a web radio program kingsnake.com founder Jeff Barringer started in 1999.

"Choosing Chad to be the new host was a natural," said Barringer. "He's one of our site's most popular chat guests, and consistently turns out a huge crowd at our annual Chat Month."

Barringer said that the only guest to consistently draw as well as Brown is Kerry King of the band Slayer. "Having Chad interview Kerry seems like it will be a great way to start off the new year, and something our users will enjoy."

Kerry King, guitarist and one of the founding members of the metal band Slayer, is also a long time reptile breeder and is often seen at reptile related events in Southern California when he's not touring. King is known for his blazing fast guitar licks as well as his carpet pythons, which he will be showing at his booth during this weekends Reptile Super Show in Pomona. He's been a two-time guest at the symposiums during Chat Month, but this will be his first guest appearance on kingsnake.com's web radio show.

Chad Brown's interview with Kerry King is scheduled to be go live on Jan 7th on kingsnake.com as a downloadable podcast as well as being released on Apple's iTunes as a free download. For details see http://www.kingsnake.com/radio
