Rob Duguay (music journalist + promoter)

Rob Duguay tells the story of his progression in radio & music journalism from school papers to national magazines, what his experience was like being the alternative rock director was at Rhode Island College in the early 2000s, and why he started booking shows under the name Top Five Fiend.

And, make sure to tune into the interview to hear me ask Rob a question about how to ask questions in an interview. (that's some meta shit right there if you ask me)
