Radio On Main Street Featuring Mitch Albom, Host of Detroit’s Longest-running Afternoon Radio Show on WJR

In our fourteenth episode of the series, we hear the conversation RAB’s Erica Farber had with author, philanthropist, columnist and host of Detroit’s longest-running afternoon radio show, Mitch Albom, heard on weekdays from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. on the legendary WJR. His show is a mixture of entertainment and information: a good dose of humor but welcoming to outside opinions and a variety of diverse voices for which he is a ringleader. While we live in a video and a mobile world, there is an intimacy to radio and a connection people make with radio hosts. Radio is just a voice and when you exclusively make a voice connection, you’re really speaking to somebody. The intimacy of radio makes a connection more so than anything else.
