Jeff was in town for the Iowa Broadcasters Association (IBA) annual meeting. Here we talk about corporate radio, why local radio wins, offer up some congratulations to IBA award winners and...well, just talk about the back-story of why radio remains a dominant force in the face of so many other choices.
