    Jeff Styles has been on local talk radio morning shows for 29 years. He knows the game well and has cultivated a loyal following. I had the pleasure to sit down with him for two hours to discuss leaving radio and switching to podcasting, what fires him up in a conversation, the lost art of debate, arguing, critique and his definitions of each. Jeff is open and honest as no topic is off limits with him. Religion, work ethic, cancel culture, he won’t shy away from any qu...
