Anna and Raven, Star 99.9, Bridgeport, CT (syndicated) with Raven’s Mom Gets Pushed Down at the Grocery Store

One thing many in radio do is hear a story that involved someone, then tell that person’s story to the audience.  So much is lost if you do that.  You lose the nuance and, even worse, you lose the first-person emotion that comes with the experience.  You also lose the ability to be inquisitive and get more from that person it happened to because you can’t explore their story.  Which is why it’s so important to get the person central to the story to tell it to you on their own.  Anna and Raven, Star 99.9, Bridgeport, CT had this experience.  Raven’s mom (who’s always money) got pushed down by another shopper at the grocery story.  They invited her on to share what happened.  Raven turned into her son (character development) and you got all the nuance with all her emotion.  All of that made it much more memorable.
