Radio On Main Street, Featuring Edgar Sotelo, Host of the Nationally Syndicated Shoboy Show

In our third podcast of the series, we hear the conversation RAB’s Erica Farber had with Edgar Sotello, known as Shoboy on the radio, as host of the Shoboy Show, a nationally syndicated bilingual and bicultural radio show. And while Shoboy’s show is not targeting a specific format, it is representing a bilingual and bicultural lifestyle. Edgar shares that they are creating content in a radio or audio studio, but radio is only one way they are reaching their audience. He thinks of it as 3-D – on the air, digital and grassroots, meaning how people can feel they are next to them physically or emotionally. It’s truly emblematic of radio’s unique ability to reach audiences in a multi-platform world.

Radio On Main Street, Featuring Mistress Carrie, Host of the Syndicated Mistress Carrie Radio Show and Podcast

In our fourth podcast of the series, we hear the conversation Erica had with Mistress Carrie, a true rock radio on-air icon. She is a proud military wife and was the first nonnews journalist embedded in the Middle East with the U.S. military in Iraq in 2006 and Afghanistan in 2011. As you’ll hear, Mistress Carrie certainly knows all about heroes, and at the same time she makes quite a point of saying that the advertiser is the hero in that they help to make it all happen in radio. Radio can resonate better than anything else because of the relationships that a video or an app just can’t do. She reminds us that our on-air talent has the closest relationship to the listener, so it is important we trust them and keep them on the air.

Radio on Main Street Podcast Featuring RAB’s Erica Farber and MKHSTRY’s Jeff Charney in His FIRST Podcast Ever

Radio on Main Street was on site for four days at the ANA Masters of Marketing Conference where creative thinking and innovative strategies that inspire change and drive growth were shared by some of the world’s top CMOs and leading brands.

Over the next several weeks, we invite you to tune in to a special edition Radio on Main Street podcast series as Erica Farber, President and CEO of the RAB, speaks with “Masters of Marketing” and dives into their marketing goals, the issues they’re most focused on and of course, their thoughts about radio. 

Though the conference took place in October, we consciously held back until after the winter holidays and the hoopla of the Super Bowl subsided to give you the chance to soak in the substance of the conversations.  

Speaking of disruptive substance… this inaugural episode kicks off with the always provocative and brilliant Jeff Charney, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of MKHSTRY, an invite-only nationwide marketing collective that drives historic business transformation. As you might know, Jeff was the former CMO of Progressive Insurance and Aflac and started MKHSTRY in April of 2022.  A believer in the scarcity model, this is Jeff’s FIRST and ONLY podcast (up to this point) so listen up, because it might not happen again for a while.
