Country Radio Hall of Fame member Blair Garner sat down with Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg for a 20-minute interview on July 17 that covered a variety of topics, including his political platforms, reaching conservative-leaning audiences via country radio, meeting country stars Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley and more.

“I think that our base tends to be more conservative,” said Blair, host of the nationally syndicated Blair Garner Show. “And the fact that you, from the Democratic ticket, are the singular candidate to reach out and to say, ‘May I please be on your show?’ . . . I think we all have to embrace that and be appreciative of that.”

“Well thanks, you know I think there are a lot of voters who just feel like maybe they haven’t heard much from my side of the aisle in a while,” said Buttigieg.
