Premiere Networks and the EIB Network have announced the launch of a new, limited original podcast series, "Rush Limbaugh: The Man Behind The Golden EIB Microphone." The 12-episode series will detail the late legendary radio host Rush Limbaugh's 30-plus year career in radio that revitalized the spoken-word format, and provided a platform for him to develop and lead modern conservatism in America.

Featuring Limbaugh's own words and never-before-heard stories shared by colleagues, friends and family, the series will give listeners a guided tour of the five-time Marconi Award winner's historic journey from Cape Girardeau, MO, to becoming the number one talk radio host in America. The series will also highlight Limbaugh's lasting legacy, which includes "The Rush Limbaugh Show's" continued dominance as the most-listened-to talk radio program in the U.S.

"Rush Limbaugh: The Man Behind The Golden EIB Microphone," will be narrated by James Golden, Limbaugh's long-time call screener and "official show observer" known to listeners as "Bo Snerdley." Golden had a front row seat to "The Rush Limbaugh Show" for nearly all 33 years of its existence.

"The only blessing greater than working with Rush, was knowing the man that he truly was," said Golden. "It is not only my honor, but also my duty, to help ensure his legacy is properly acknowledged. I want to thank Premiere Networks and the EIB Network for allowing me this profound opportunity."

"We look forward to sharing this incredible series with millions of Rush Limbaugh fans," added Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott. "Those who knew Rush best will provide an insider's look at his life and career, providing a true celebration and tribute to the greatest talk radio host of all time."

"Rush Limbaugh: The Man Behind The Golden Microphone" will debut May 12, with weekly episodes available Wednesdays on iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are heard.
