“My agent said that I was one of the top three busiest people in the country.” — Casey Kasem

Hosting various versions of my countdown program has kept me extremely busy, and I loved every minute of it.

Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience.

If the beat gets to the audience, and the message touches them, you've got a hit.

I like the storytelling and reading the letters, the long-distance dedications. Anytime in radio that you can reach somebody on an emotional level, you're really connecting.
