TPM Episode 256: Mike Rogge, Publisher, Journalist

While Mike Rogge is a publisher these days, he cut his teeth writing for some of the most important titles in snow and beyond. These days, life is all about changing the print model from a dying, corporate, ad driven business to a thriving, independent, boutique model that caters to what subscribers want.  On the show, we talk about finding a home in skiing as a writer, Powder, The Ski Journal, his internet persona and so much more.  Rogge has never been afraid to share his opinions which always makes for a great listen.
