I was 40-something years old. I hadn't shown any entrepreneurial spunk up until that point.

Radio was supposed to die in 1945, when TV came along. It turns out that radio grew and grew, and it's a bigger business today than it has ever been.

One of the things that I think audio is best at is creating empathy.

A lot of people listen to podcasts because they want to learn something and be entertained along the way.

When you're hearing somebody and you're not seeing them, your brain naturally creates a version of them. Then you feel closer to them because you've created them.

It puts limits on criminals' rights to destroy unborn children without the permission of the woman.

By the time I came to L.A. I'd already cried on movies of the week with two of the women from 'Knots Landing'.
