Episode 235 - Sheldon Zoldan

Sheldon Zoldan has been producing Song of the Day since about 2020. He describes it as part history, part trivia, and all music. In it, he tells a short story every day that ties into music history or historical events and features a song.

Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Sheldon graduated with a degree in journalism from Ohio State University. In the late 1970s he worked as an editor at Ohio Magazine, which was founded and operated by the infamous Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler Magazine. Sheldon also worked at an experimental cable station called Qube that was kind of like interactive TV before its time.

He returned to print journalism and wound up at the News-Press as a business writer in 1986. He ended up a metro editor and retired from the paper in 2019.
