The radio is not show fun, it's show business. It's money.
Basically, radio hasn't changed over the years. Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience.
The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings, that's good.
Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.
Radio is a really strange business now, too. There's a very narrow door and a very few people control what gets played.
There's much more money being brought into the advertising and communications business than in the music industry.
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.
Television contracts the imagination and radio expands it.
Radio is the most intimate and socially personal medium in the world.
Like, radio is closer to a Tumblr, or a blog, or Twitter, than it is to television, I think.
