Anytime in radio that you can reach somebody on an emotional level, you're really connecting.

I started radio in 1950 on the Lone Ranger radio program, a dramatic show that emanated from Detroit when I was 18 years old and just beginning college. I did that for a couple of years.

Some of the things that I do, I think are very important and much more important than the radio show or the television show that I do or anything else that I do. I think right at the top of the list is the basic thing. And of course the basic thing is to hopefully stop people from killing anything. And to create a non-violent diet for themselves, because a non-violent world has roots in a non-violent diet.

The stories are success stories. The letters from listeners often touch the heart and can be inspiring.

I accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. That is the timeless thing.
