Emmis Communications CEO Jeff Smulyan has a long and fascinating story from his first radio station -- an AM high-dial daytimer in Indianapolis -- to running one of the most prestigious radio and TV groups in America. He tells his stories in his new book, "Never Ride a Roller Coaster Upside Down."

Media Insultant co-hosts, Jackson Weaver and Keith Samuels had a chance to catch up with Jeff and talk about his 50 years in the media business. As a twice-weekly podcast Media Insultant doesn't stop down for interviews very often, but this is very entertaining and interesting 30-minutes.

The podcast is now available on any podcasting platform and the video version is in the Media Insultant Showcase at Vimeo.
