Clearly, this working through and expressing of emotions and the meeting of one's psychological needs also applies to the station's hosts. We sometimes tend to forget that the hosts are people just like us who have their own desires, problems, troubles and personality hang-ups. All are dream patients for analysis. These are frequent needs that people seek to have met when they embark on a career in entertainment. Living in today's world can often be quite difficult.
People appear to be filled with frustrations and angers.
These feelings are clearly seen in many street interactions and on our roads and highways. They are also seen on many of our talk radio stations. Psychologically, one does not have to express these emotions in order to feel better about one's issues or troubles. It can be vicarious experience. All of us have gotten perverse satisfaction watching playground bullies being beaten up, or in seeing an individual put down someone whose views brought out intense reactions within us.
