“They [radio listeners] hear every emotion you have.
They hear the days you're really happy, the days you're really angry, the day
you might be without a care in the world. But more than that, they can take you
everywhere. They're in the car with you — on the way to work, on the way home.
They can take you with them when they're lying there ready to go to sleep, when
they get up in the morning, when they go to the beach, when they're on the
couch. When I'm talking, I think of myself talking to each person. I envision
people on the highway. I envision people in their cars. I
envision how people are listening. I envision a lot of them, but I envision
them one at a time.”—Sports talk radio personality Mike Francesa, “Mike Francesa Still Believes in the Power of
Radio” (interview by Jay Caspian Kang), New York Times Magazine, Aug. 26, 2018
