You're listening to me for free right now, and that's awesome because more and more things aren't free right now.

I mean, think about all the things you're paying for daily, monthly yearly.

Well, here's something that won't add to that list, the free iHeartRadio app, podcasts, streaming music, digital radio.

All free, it's the future of audio and unlike almost everything else in your life right now,
