In addition to talking about how the selections are made for Showtime material, Dunn gives a little insight into the lives of Campus Country members via social media and also what the group has been up to since we last talked to him prior to his September 29 Showtime. In the second half of this week's program, Kollmeyer welcomes softball players Austyn Holden and Harley Mullins to the podcast as they talk about all the community service that the Northeast Lady Tiger softball team will be doing during the holidays.
