The communities around Lake Okeechobee know Billy Dean quite well after his 21 years on the air at WOKC with Glades Media Group, but not everyone knows the backstory of his early years and family legacy in Southwest Florida. In this episode, we look back at his agricultural roots, share stories about growing up in rural Florida and daily sporting pursuits, and then transition into a discussion about small-town life in Florida and the important community services and the personal touch that local radio provides. It's a nostalgic look at simpler times, and a candid look behind the scenes at broadcast media that everyone is sure to enjoy.
