Appalachia Meets World Episode 49 - Rural Connections with Patrick Gottsch of RFD-TV

In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with the founder or RFD-TV, Patrick Gottsch.  Mr. Gottsch breaks down how the network got started and how media has changed since he began.  Take a listen as he discusses an important mission of RFD-TV, connecting the rural and urban environments.  In a time of division, it's important for the media outlet to bring a diversity of networking to the masses.  He also talks about his appreciation for rodeo and the growth of the company, to include "The Cowboy Channel."  The guys also debate the idea of an Easter egg "hunt" and how Will got thrown in with the pigs at an early age.  Don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: The Appalachian Solar Finance Fund!
