Comments on: I’m On A [KGO] Radio http://thisis.toddseal.com/2005/kgo-radio/ Fri, 18 May 2012 02:46:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.10 by: Tom http://thisis.toddseal.com/2005/kgo-radio/#comment-38 Thu, 26 May 2005 16:07:21 +0000 http://thisis.toddseal.com/2005/kgo-radio/#comment-38 Great stuff. I think very lucid and effective discussion of a difficult topic. You show some guts getting on the air like that. I am nervous just posting to my blog and I can change that. To draw the parallel you made a little further- Virtually everyone has been to the doctor but that doesn't mean they know how to be a doctor. Virtually everyone has listened to the radio that doesn't mean they know how to be (or would be a good) a radio host. Doing a job for a living exposes you to nuances and truths that you would never know otherwise. It is a shame more people don't realize that. I think they figure they've taught people things before. "I taught my child to tie their shoes." I could be a teacher and so I am in the position to judge what they are doing. That is the equivalent of saying "I put a band-aid on a scrape the other day. I am ready to go fix that mess in arthroscopic surgery." Teachers just don't get much respect. I'm not sure why that is. It seems like teachers used to be respected and professors still are. I wonder what happened. Great stuff. I think very lucid and effective discussion of a difficult topic. You show some guts getting on the air like that.
