He's been a widely-known journalist, columnist and contributing editor for a variety of national magazines and websites since 1994. With more than 400,000 words published each year for the past decade, he's written numerous articles for Wired, Maximum PC (see HD Camcorders Finally Arrive), Popular Science, I.D. magazine, Studio Monthly, DV, Video Systems, Broadcast Engineering and Post Magazine, along with hundreds of published articles in other magazines, trade publications and websites. Charlie is also now active in the world of podcasting. With journalist colleague Stephen Schleicher, he's been netcasting since the medium's inception in 2005 with a professionally-produced weekly show entitled Coolness Roundup. The popular program is part of Adam Curry's Podshow Podcasting Network. It takes listeners on a wild ride through the world of consumer electronics, gadgets, and just plain cool stuff, and has attracted a large and loyal following as well as three enthusiastic sponsors. Keeping his television directing skills sharp as well, for two years he was at the helm as Producer/Director of a critically-acclaimed television talk show, Focus on Diversity, that appeared each week on the CBS affiliate in Milwaukee. He also gives back to the community, now serving a second two-year term on the advisory board of Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. In his 33-year career in broadcasting, his experience included directing Nightly Business Report, Star Hustler, Ecole de Cuisine, Dollar Signs and Techno@bytes for national PBS television audiences. Charlie was Producer/Director of the hit national PBS cooking series entitled Jill Prescott's Ecole de Cuisine. In the summer of 1995, he created the PBS technology series Techno@bytes. He was also Creative Consultant for PBS's Tracks Ahead, and directed Dollar Signs, a PBS series specializing in mutual funds. White's specialty is promotional spot creation, for which he won a Chicago/Midwest Emmy Award in 1992. For more information, here's his complete resume. While beginning his television career, instead of starving Charlie was a radio announcer for classical and jazz stations in Miami and North Carolina. He was also a professional saxophonist, playing with small groups and big bands. The 12-year musical adventure included a seven-year gig with "Los Cumbiamberos," a Latino orchestra that recorded five albums, one of which was for CBS Records in 1983.
