However, few of the show hosts tickled my innards, with so many hosts unwilling and/or unable (not allowed by corporate?) to cover topics that interested me.<BR/><BR/>Steve Brown did cover those topics and in a manner that kept my interest.<BR/><BR/>Steve also allowed callers to have their say, unlike so many hosts who at most allow a few brief caller words before jumping in and yapping their inanity without allowing the caller to convey their message.<BR/><BR/>Steve was a gentleman and considerate of the caller AND the listener since he was able to walk that fine line of allowing the public their say yet avoiding the droning say-nothing caller who merely babbles froth.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, a professional, able to keep a call-in show moving, keep it interesting and allowing various viewpoints to be expressed.<BR/><BR/>I feel privileged to have spoken with Steve numerous times via the call-in method. Once, Steve allowed me to rant and rave for over five minutes about a topic I was well-versed about... having devoted 9 years researching that topic. That is a rarity... few hosts would allow a non-celebrity or unrecognized authoritative figure to speak for such a lengthy time.<BR/><BR/>And, when Steve responded and made his comments, it was obvious he had listened to my spiel and was interacting with me rather than just listening without understanding. Steve did the same for other callers; actually listening to them and responding.<BR/><BR/>A gentleman and a professional on-air assuredly his demeanor extended to his private life.<BR/><BR/>My condolences to his family and friends.<BR/><BR/>Steve will be missed by many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
