A BLAST FROM MY PAST: my start in talk radio was actually on public access cable TV in New York City in 1977. I'm one of the folks on this 1979 magazine cover.

That's awesome. I heard you talk about this in a podcast - didn't realize you worked for so long in NYC before venturing out west. I LOVE those early radio (and NY) stories and hearing what made you The Professor.
