For over 40 years, Michael and Justine Toms have produced fascinating and long enduring and endearing programs on public radio with over 5000 programs in their archives.
In this conversation we get his perspective about how radio works, the producer to the listener point of view, and the future of radio. I asked Michael Toms about his thoughts of the relationship between the producer of a radio program and the listener.
The Books Michael Toms recommends are: âFeather Fallâ by Laurens Van Der Post. âThe Millennium Whole Earth Catalogâ by Howard Rheingold. âHealing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicineâ by Larry Dossey.
