I have always wished for the opportunity to express my thoughts, concerns, and opinions about our amazing rural lifestyle and the challenges that lie ahead in preserving what many of us take for granted daily. RURAL RADIO provides me that platform and I run with it every week! Three years and it’s just getting better! —Flint Rasmussen, host of “Outside the Barrel“
Milestones give us a chance to reflect, and looking back, my three years with RURAL RADIO Channel 147 on Sirius XM has been more fun than a barrel full of squirrels. The guests, the listeners, the stories, my producer, the venues, the people I’ve met and of course Bass Pro Shops has given me the pleasure of feeding my passion for everything outdoors. —Bob Keck, host of “Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World”
