I can't count the number of times I'd fall asleep while listening to dramas such as The Shadow, Dr. Kildare or The Green Hornet late Sunday nights. I loved radio, it was magical. Yet, radio in 'my room' was very different from what my parents tuned into. Every radio they owned was 'glued' to the same station and the news was always on. Among all the booming male announcers of the time, there was one woman. I listened to her everyday when I came home for lunch from school, The Betty Kennedy Show. I remember eating my grilled cheese and thinking...I'd like to do what she does – talk with people on the radio.
