"It's always fun being a guest on Jim Peters' program," Harrison said. "He asks great questions and creates enough space to really tackle subjects such as the impact of a changing media on society.  We took a deep dive into the significance of World Radio Day 2024, a topic near and dear to my heart."

Peters said, "The UN couldn't have chosen a better person to advise them for World Radio Day than Michael Harrison. He is a living legend in the American radio business, and an endless wealth of knowledge on the subject. We had a great conversation about not just what's happened with radio world-wide over the last hundred years, but also what portends for its future as well."

That music video will be played on the program as well.
