Public radio is alive and kicking, it always has been
Public radio is alive and kicking, it always has been.
The radio's pretty much always on, and I also listen to some American podcasts, such as for 'National Public Radio' and 'Newsweek'.
For people starting public radio shows, one of the things you have to do is you have to talk every single public radio station into picking you up.
Radio has always been pictures of the mind; for me, the essence of radio has always been voices that talk to me and don't patronise me.
Whatever had been on the radio in the '60s; I mean we were always listening to the radio.

Because I don't do stand-up, radio has always been my equivalent, a place to stay in connection with the public and force myself to write every week and come up with new characters. Plus it's a medium that – having grown up with it and putting myself to sleep with a radio under my pillow [as a kid] – I love. No matter what picture you want to create in the listener's mind, a few minutes of work gets it done.
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.
In many ways, I think that, while we've been remarkably violent in our media, there's been a real schizophrenia. In private, on the Internet, and on public-affairs shows or talk radio, we're way more explicit than we've ever been.
Our party has always been the voice of the powerless and the voiceless.
Since I was a kid, I've always been skinny and frail framed. I felt powerless as a child, but I always saw so much power in femininity and female sexuality.
Public radio is the last oasis of free and independent music. For satellite radio channels, you have to subscribe; commercial stations are as corporate as basic cable.
As a touring musician over the last 15 years, before streaming and iPods, you had to listen to terrestrial radio wherever you were. That's always been my way of connecting to a location. Turn on the radio, search through the dial.
I usually draw in silence, but listen to music or public radio when I'm painting, after all the important decisions have been made.
I've been doing radio since I was 18, and I've been unemployed four times from radio for various reasons.
