"Talk radio is in almost every way much freer than any of the television I did, [because] it's building a story. We're doing a commentary live on the air. Everything else I've been able to do, except for the live shots I did, I've been able to craft it. The crafting is immediate."

"Who lets me in this morning? Jim Kerr, 52 years, a legend at WAXQ, who remembers me from back in the 70’s interviewing when I started the Guardian Angels.”

"Without guardrails, the guy is ready to implode at any moment. He's had a history of this and he just can't help himself."

"It’s a full circle moment for me as my first radio station appearance for me was in 1971 when WOR’s Arlene Francis interviewed me as a kid, and I’ve been talking on the radio since.”

“For the record: 180 days of unlimited access to the public versus 17 days when there was no hope.”

“I’m so excited to be on the airwaves of my hometown area, bringing the best tech knowledge to listeners in the tri-state."

"I'll never forget my boss asking me 'So how long do you think you could just, you know, talk?'"

"It has to hit the issues of the day and the stories of the day. And some days some days, it is more fun than other days."

“I am both thrilled and humbled by this opportunity. Thrilled because 710 WOR is iconic, and humbled because I am walking in the footsteps of legends.”  

“WOR is iconic in radio history, and I’m honored to accept this position.”
