This morning, for KOOP Radio‘s What’s New Radio Show, I had the pleasure to speak with rising country music star, Ben Rue! He’s in town to perform at the iHeartCountry festival at the Frank Erwin Center. And, he’s a part of a national campaign for diabetes awareness, using the hashtag #BuckOffDiabetes with Accu-Chek. (I did my best to not make cheap Wilford Brimley or UT hook’em jokes. 😉 ) We talk all that and more, including giant steaks, in this interview. Thanks for checking it out. #IHeartCountry
