My name is Ben Crossman, and I am the Host of Computer America. The program is live every weekday, and our purpose with every show is to connect the end user with the engineers, product managers, and CEOs. We work with our guests to prepare a comprehensive interview (more like a conversation), and we allow our audience to pose salient questions they might have. The show has been on the air for twenty-eight years, and during that time we have excelled at two functions:
The first is popularizing new technology. Our staff combines enthusiasm and expertise in the right proportions to make what would have been a headache into a joy for the audience. We also have a small army of correspondents which are experts in their fields. As the Host of the show, my goal has always been to blend entertainment and explanation into a single experience, along with my innate appreciation for tech. Combined, here at the Show, I am dedicated to making sure our audience is ahead of the curve and aware of how changes in technology can improve their lives. This service is always free for guests and listeners alike, since our firm belief is that this information benefits everyone and bridging this gap is vital for the acceptance and continued development of technology.
The second is in promoting companies and products which show exceptional merit and novelty. Often these companies are start-ups which find themselves facing a global marketplace dominated by the well-recognized names. The key is, of course, well targeted promotion which clearly explains the value. We can help promote products from global developers to a global audience. Some of our success stories from around the world include PC Tools (Australia), Doodle (Germany), and Slimware Utilities (US). Computer America is also supported by industry mainstays such as: Intel (US), Logitech (US), Premio (US), and OWC (US). This service is Computer America’s lifeblood, and we would be glad to work with your budget and tailor a campaign which meets your needs.
Check out what past sponsors and guests have said about Computer America:
I am pleased to announce that our American user base has exceeded our Swiss user base! This was my aim to get there within the first twelve to eighteen months, and we’ve already done that in only nine months thanks to our ad campaign on Computer America!
Michael Brecht, CEO @ Doodle
It’s always fun talking with Ben about the latest tech topics. He knows his tech, and so does his audience. It’s not just computers anymore!
Michael Miller, Author, Musician, and Consultant
There’s a good reason Computer America is the longest running show of its kind. Each show delivers the latest news and thoughtful commentary when I need to stay up-to-date. And Ben and his team do it all with energy, fun and a great sense of humor.
Ralph Bond, PR Manager of Engineering/Natural Resources/Infrastructure @ Autodesk
What can one say about Computer America that no one else has said? Well, they could say they listen and they like it! Oh wait, other people have said that, and they’ve said that for almost 25 years. Me? When I listen, I like it too. Even the shows I’m on, I like. Go figure. Congrats Computer America on a heck of a long run.
Dick DeBartolo, The Giz Wiz & MAD’s Maddest Writer
There are few if any alternatives for reaching technology-interested listeners on a dependable basis, hours per night, 5 days per week, with the track record and unerringly interesting content of the Computer America radio show.
Marty Winston, Editor of Newstips Bulletin
One thing I love about Computer America is that they actually let their guests talk. I think they do this because they’re actually interested in how they think and what they have to say about something, a rarity in radio. If someone like Ben can tolerate a know-it-all blowhard like me and still make me feel welcome, he can tolerate anyone. And he does, because Ben and Craig have been on air longer than almost anyone I know. That’s what true success is; tolerating blowhards. And longevity!
