What does it take to have your name added to a legacy morning show after 20 years in radio?
In this episode, I sit down with Eric Rowe—Executive Producer and cast member of Houston's top-rated Roula & Ryan Show with Eric. We go behind the curtain of what really keeps a radio show alive, relevant, and top of mind in the age of TikTok, YouTube, and AI.
Eric opens up about his unlikely journey from growing up on a farm in Illinois to becoming one of the few executive producers in history to have his name added to a major market morning show. We talk about producing chaos, team dynamics, the power of vulnerability in broadcasting, and why great radio is anything but easy.
This episode is a masterclass in longevity, branding, and staying human in a tech-driven media world.
Topics we cover:
-Why Eric's name was added to the show after 20+ years
-How producers are often the unseen engine of radio
-Behind-the-scenes planning of show bits and segments
-The truth about radio layoffs and why you need a backup plan
-Why community, live calls, and listener connection still matter-
If you’re a creator, radio fan, podcaster, or media nerd—this one's for you.
