It's like getting a phone call from a friend. Radio forces you to be creative and pay attention to words, sound and language. Radio requires you to be not just a journalist, but a poet and a good storyteller. Remember that many people listen to the radio in their cars. That's why radio should never be boring, or people will fall asleep.
Good radio saves lives.
