At a tiny station in New Albany, Indiana, which is right across from the river from Louisville, Kentucky, where I grew up. The Louisville stations were loath to hire beginners, so I had to go across the river.
From Bob Edwards
I wake about 1 a.m. I'm in the office by 2 a.m. We're on the air at 5.
Between 2 and 5 I'm reading in to find out what's been going on while I've been asleep.
Some are pre-taped interviews because maybe we can't get that person live or maybe we're not sure it's going to work out right so we tape it an hour in advance.
I go home by noon, and I'm in bed by 6 p.m. I get up at 1 and do it again.
Nobody cares about your wardrobe, what your tie looks like, or even if you're wearing one, and I don't.
It's also a more personal medium. It seems to go directly to one's brain. There are no pictures to distract.
With radio, the listener absorbs everything.
In my case, the listener is often in an automobile driving to work. You can concentrate on the road while still getting an audio message that can be riveting.
I'm a very straight-laced, conservative news kind of guy.
