As the final episode of Common Folk in the Boat, this installment brings hosts Eli Campbell and Dave Wittlinger full circle—returning them to the very beginning of their journeys in broadcast media. They sit down with local radio legend Brian Harvey, the voice who hired them both to work at KFMU over two decades ago for Dave and almost exactly 20 years ago for Eli.
In his time, Brian has managed every radio station in Routt County over a nearly 40‑year career that included stints at KBCR, KFMU, KRMR, KEZZ, and more. Beyond that, he has emceed local events, called high school sports, and co-founded the satirical Pirate Theatre. His deep roots in the culture of Steamboat Springs make him the perfect guide for this trip down memory lane.
Eli and Dave reminisce about the good ol' days of radio in Steamboat and reflect on how far they’ve come since. But it's not all nostalgia. Brian’s current perspective on local media—navigating the challenges of digital disruption, the importance of diverse formats, and the enduring relevance of radio—adds depth to the conversation.
This final episode is both a celebration and a thoughtful exploration: honoring the past, acknowledging the present, and looking forward to what local media will become next. It’s the perfect send-off for a series grounded in community, authenticity, and the people who shape it.
