That’s a lot coming from me, especially given how I don’t really like people (as my mother tends to point out). One of Muellenberg’s cohort is actually a former music director, and one thing I haven’t had the complete pleasure of doing is talking about the weeds of radio music directing. It was safe, relaxed, and many laughs were had.<\/p>\n
