We’re discussing the show that made country music famous! The Grand Ole Opry is the longest running radio show; turning 100 next year! With an ever changing lineup of musicians, each performance is broadcast to a global audience via WSM radio, SiriusXM and Circle. We got to sit down with our dear friend, Sean Dietrich to discuss his debut Opry experience, so join us at the table as we discuss the gem that still makes Music City grand.

Places to listen:

Circle, Facebook, YouTube, WSM and more!
