b'Welcome back to OMN\\u2019s Coffeeshop Conversations. Big thank you to our Managing Director Scott Cunningham for a terrific conversation with Rich Layton. Hope Scott will come back and do some more of these.\\nAs usual, we\\u2019re at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan and with me is KMHD\\u2019s Program Director Matt Fleeger\\u2026also the guy I report to at KMHD, so there\\u2019s that.\\nIn the eight years since he moved from a station in Texas to take over at KMHD, he has transformed the station, built a ratings winner, an artistic and financial success in a field where those are usually incompatible.\\nHe brought a philosophy with him which he has carried out through the years. KMHD is one of the few, if not the only Jazz station to have raised the numbers of younger listeners, and that\\u2019s pretty amazing.\\nMeet Matt Fleeger.'
