First Radio Interview

Bill had his first radio interview to discuss The College Shrink with Matt Ray on his morning drive-time show The Breakfast Club with Matt and Tyler. KWAY is a delightful small radio station that broadcasts to what is very much a college town in Iowa. The book discussion matched the timing for students coming back to campus.
