And that might explain the lifelong love affair. I began on the radio at my college station, WCBN in "the basement of the student activities building" at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, during the tumultuous 1969-1972 period - and subsequently worked my way through carts, reel-to-reel, cassettes, DATS, and digital delights through the subsequent decades. I've worked at an advertising agency making radio commercials (starting out, like Peggy, as a secretary), a small commercial station (selling ads in the morning, making the spots in the afternoon, hearing them on the air on the way home), to nearly two decades in NYC as an indie producer, and then a spoken word producer at WNYC New York Public Radio. After moving to France in 1992, I've had the pleasure of sampling the broadcasting Europe has to offer. I present here a few highlights.
