In this episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast we talk to Greg Cottrell, President and Founder of Rugged Radios, live from the “Rugged Pavilion” at the Sand Sports Super Show! We talk about the SSSS and what it looked like back then, the progression of radio technology, and what Greg is excited about at Rugged Radios. This was a very interesting episode with thousands of shoppers behind us and tons of employees running around… also keep an eye out for background entertainment!
