You can tune in to our full fifty-minute chat here (it was one of the PRPD’s highlights, I’m proud to say). There’s lots of value there for broadcasters in general and public radio programmers in particular. Among our topics:
What is a “brand”?
What kind of “value” can a radio brand provide?
What does “local” mean?
