The scope and nature of this book is such that I feel it necessary to devote a great deal of my undivided attention to it. The second reason for my departure is my burning desire to see this radio show reach a much wider audience. We have worked very hard to make this show something unique and special and, thanks to all of you, you've made it the most listened to talk show of any kind in any daypart in Nashville - local or syndicated. I felt the time was right to begin moving the show toward syndication."
