Idaho Reflections | Why We Still Do Radio | A Conversation with Kevin Miller

This episode isn’t a recap. It’s a reflection.

I sat down with my friend Kevin Miller to talk about why radio still matters, what real conversation sounds like in an edited world, and what I’ve learned listening to Idaho over the past year.

We talk about professionalism, loyalty, consistency, showing up prepared, and the people and institutions that quietly hold communities together. We also touch on the Sheriff Series and why I believe our sheriffs often see the pressure points of growth and public safety before anyone else.

Radio is raw. It’s unedited. It’s left to the imagination.
And as long as there are people worth listening to, it still matters.
