Dec. 11, 1979 WLW - Cincinnati

What do you remember about the 70's? That's the question on the talk show segment "People Radio" that I originated weekday evenings from 9:00 to Midnight. One thing to remember is that talk radio was much more difficult in those early days. Callers didn't have cell phones, so they literally had to pull over to a phone booth or call from home. Plus the notoriously cheap WLW didn't have an 800 number so the callers from the 38 state audience had to pay for the call! (I also had no phone "screener", and no engineer, so I ran everything in addition to being the host. When my contract ran out they replaced me with a host who had all of that!)

Sorry for the poor audio quality at the end of this recording. The 1979 cassette was going bad.
