Hata hivyo aliachana na Murphy na kuendelea na lindo lake huku akivuta msokoto mfupi wa bangi. Lakini, yule mlinzi hakutembea hatua nyingi kabla ya kusimama na kujiuliza maswali kichwani. Kwa...

Mom sez I like talk radio, teaching, and consulting ‘cuz they ensure captive audiences. True or not (let Freudians decide), I’m driven by a “four eyed” mission to inform, instruct, intrigue, and inspire. Moreover, I like interactivity: If you’re listening, I’m listening. Talk with me!

I listen to AM radio in the AM, and AM radio for an AM audience in my PM (though it comes from the other side of the world). It’s all morning all the time for me. Sometimes I even listen to FM in the AM, but never FM and AM in the AM or PM.
