Thursday was the day of the most interesting panels we had. College Radio Autonomy, Music Director Summit, and College Radio Relevance all were very informative and got ideas spinning for both Josh and I. Now we combine the days. College day was the last of the main panels, but we wanted to do more than just radio, we wanted to experience…continue reading →

Finally! Day 3 in review is here! Wednesday started off with a trip to the NBC Studio for a tour...that didn’t happen. They told us they were booked until 1:30 which is when we had our panel.

The second panel wasn’t exactly what we expected as…continue reading →

Not giving away either of our political beliefs, but a celebrity is a celebrity, a congressman is a congressman. We didn’t see a celebrity when we landed in…continue reading →
