About Speke Podcasting 

For more than twenty‑five years, the Greater Houston area heard Freddy Cruz in their cars, kitchens, and cubicles. Then he walked away from a comfy radio career to build something louder.

​

He’s the founder of Speke Podcasting, a boutique media company that helps brands stop lurking in the comments and start leading the conversation with binge‑worthy shows. 

​

Freddy is also the creator and host of Your Mic, the no‑fluff, say‑the‑quiet‑part‑out‑loud podcast for new and aspiring hosts who are tired of generic advice. Every episode blends war stories from his broadcast days, hard‑won lessons from building a business, and tactics you can use before your next recording session.​

 

When he’s not in the studio, you’ll find him nose‑deep in a book, out on a run, or being held hostage on the couch by his dog Sparrow.

Why "Speke" and not "speak?"

Speke is named after Sparrow and (RIP) Zeke, two shelter dogs who hijacked my heart and my couch. Both were rescued from Citizens for Animal Protection here in Houston. I’m obsessed with the day our city’s homeless pet population finally hits zero. Impossible? Nah. Brutal climb? Absolutely.

​

So my family, friends, and the Speke Nation back organizations fighting for animals who don’t get a vote, a voice, or a PR team. They’re the definition of the voiceless. And if there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s make sure the right stories get heard.
