Too many blowhards on the air that think I Talk You Listen.

Stations that are most engaging are the ones who listen and don’t talk..

Audience ought to be the staff of writers.

At least the on-air product has an in place audience….

Is the listener the new radio Program Director?

The best interviewer is the one who is the good listeners
