Tonight I have a very special guest, the KFMG station manager, Gary Monte. If it wasn't for Gary, Iowa Basement Tapes would never had happened. I am the type of person who needs motivation sometimes and he got the show green lit for the radio back in 2018. On June 30th, 2026, he will be retiring. We play his Iowa playlist and talk about his history with Iowa radio.
