The Brosenberg Files is a combination of two last names, a shared vision, and follow through that beats their throwing arms. Jordan Rosenberg ’26, business management major and finance minor and Brody Bremer ’26, business management major and sports management record their conversations in the podcasting studio at the Center for Entrepreneurship (CELEB). CELEB is a student-driven program dedicated to student ventures in music, art, media, prototyping, and traditional start-ups, open to all students, staff and faculty. Brian Morello ’85, CELEB’s director, provides mentorship and access to space and resources.

“They’re putting themselves out there. Taking action,” Morello says about Bremer and Rosenberg, who quickly learned about software, editing devices, platforms, and marketing.

The Brosenberg Files first aired on September 27 with invited guest Greg Hanrahan, Executive in Residence in sports management, the first of 16 so far. The duo seek to discover the traits these professionals share – trustworthy, go-getter, love the journey, and passion for bringing people together, to name a few, so far. Guests usually have a tie to Beloit to be added to these increasingly coveted files, but opportunity beats geography. For example, they couldn’t pass up talking with the President of Milwaukee Bucks or Stanford Professor Mark Granovetter, 2025’s Upton Scholar. In fact, his work on “The Strength of Weak Ties” is central to how Bremer and Rosenberg curate their show.

“It’s not easy to grab these people, to sit and have coffee somewhere, but we’ve learned people never give up a chance to talk about themselves. There’s times I get goosebumps because I’m so shocked by it. I think this has to go on Instagram or YouTube because a lot of other people would find it intriguing,” says Bremer.

The duo knew little about the technical aspects of the equipment or outreach to prospective guests and listeners in the beginning. What they knew was that they would work well together to get people excited. Rosenberg describes himself as analytical while Bremer is more adventurous. They stay motivated by building off each other while also increasing their management, communications, marketing, and technical skills.

The Brosenberg Files begins with rapid fire questions to break the ice. Coffee or tea? Biggest pet peeve? They move onto background information about how their guests got into their fields which leads to stories about people they’ve met or future plans. Both prefer open dialogue without scripted questions, ultimately selecting content they think is most relevant.

“It can be hard to learn when stories are outdated. We try to be different, find content that resonates with us, and learn as much as we can by asking questions through the college student lens. If we can get into the same conversation space we can make it make sense,” says Rosenberg.

By opening, and being open to conversations, Bremer and Rosenberg have grown their perspective and their audience. Word is out across campus. Classmates talk to them about the show and how it’s going. The Brosenberg Files even has an unofficial ‘biggest fan,’ Emily Sager, assistant director of Career Works, who emails them after every episode. Still, the podcast is not where they want it to be yet. “We’re playing ourselves. People know who we are, and we’re still working on fully engaging, figuring out our target market. Our jobs will include storytelling and that’s what we’re doing. If something big is happening on campus they’re coming to us. That is the message we’re trying to send,” says Rosenberg.

Bremer and Rosenberg joke that they might keep the files open forever, because they love doing it. If you’ve been wondering what they don’t love – pet peeves include liars and sharing a meal with someone who dips their chips in the community salsa.
