Meet Gail Phillips Associate Professor, Broadcast Journalism "I love radio and I love teaching radio as it is an exciting live medium where you operate without a safety net. It gives me tremendous satisfaction to see how the students meet all the challenges of live broadcasting, and to watch them grow from novices into confident radio producers during the course of their degree program."
