I've actually done events at radio stations where I feel like I've had to give a little talk in behalf of television as a medium.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have had a lot of experience in broadcasting.
I was in a profession that received a lot of media.
I've always been fascinated with radio and broadcasting. I did fake radio shows as a kid, where I was a DJ and stuff like that.
One reason I do the live shows - and the monthly speeches at public radio stations - is to remind myself that people hear the show, that it has an audience, that it exists in the world. It's so easy to forget that.
I had a great time on News Radio, I got to make tons of money in relative obscurity and learn a lot about the TV biz and work on my standup act constantly. It was a dream gig.
If you are interested in ideas, radio is way more pure than television. You're not distracted by somebody's nose or hair or posture. You can really see how someone thinks and penetrate to the essence of who that person is.
I had no trouble going from radio to TV - I just thought of TV as radio with pictures.
When you're doing a radio show, you can express yourself.
Recently I've been participating in radio and television talk programs doing broadcasts and conferences, and shooting my mouth off and really going to town.
I've actually gotten so I don't associate television with entertainment very much.
