Well, actually it was novelist Caitlin Macy, writing in the current issue of  Oprah’s O magazine.  Macy tells of a life-long love affair with all types of radio programming, which has cost her almost nothing:   “Radio is not only wildly cheap, it’s durably so: The machine I listen to now is not remarkably different from my clock radio of 30 years ago. Let your stereophilic husband have his fancy speakers and his subwoofer. Optimum sound quality is not the point of radio. For me, just listening is—tuning in, wherever I happen to be, to this private conversation that always includes me.”

Pass this one along to the Sales guys.  (And never you mind how I came across an item in O magazine….)
