Since the very begining of the show's run, Paul has served as the only host of the program, which he named, "Country & Conversation." From day one, Paul's radio show has been dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Traditional Country Music. The show quickly received great reviews from both listeners and Country Music Legends alike. Starting with the show's second week of programing, Paul introduced the first installment of the critically acclaimed, "An Interview with a Legend," in which Paul features the music of and an interview with a country music legend during one of his weekly broadcasts. The country music legend that was first interviewed was Country Music Hall Fame Member, Charlie Louvin, of the Louvin Brothers.
