Today I’m joined by Art Vuolo… who’s known in the broadcast business as “Radio’s Best Friend”. We talk about the heyday of radio - when people carried transistor radios with them everywhere and have now been replaced with iEverythings. We also take a look back — comparing how vastly different radio is today from the way it was. So many changes… some good, but mostly bad. And I tell two stories: One about a waitress who’s one pancake short of a stack when it comes to History, plus a true recounting of the time I sat next to 90-year-old Sonny Eliot as he heckled a stand-up comic… and the comics hilarious comeback. So stand-up - or sit down - and tune in to Podcast #54!
