I walked into my first radio station in 1965. Still in High School — wide‑eyed, curious, and convinced that radio was the closest thing to magic a human being could touch. More than sixty years later, I’ve seen the industry rise, fall, reinvent itself, and lose pieces of its soul along the way. I’ve seen the craft hollowed out, the people stretched thin, and the magic dimmed but never extinguished.
