Hardest Job In Showbiz
Hosting a daily talk radio show — as I did over multiple decades — is the hardest job in show business. Here’s why.

Yesterday, I heard a promo for a radio station giveaway that had me shaking my head because it went against everything on-air contests should be about.

Not all radio stars were on the air. This is a wonderful NY Times obit for the woman who chose the hits — and made stars of Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, and more — for legendary station CKLW.

I offer my perspective on the technology known as HD Radio, which commemorated its 15th birthday last week (although there isn’t much to celebrate).
Three Radio Pet Peeves
I don’t listen to much radio anymore, but when I poked around to some local stations recently, instead of gripping content, I heard these three longtime pet peeves that may never go away.
