"In my opinion, radio is the most democratic means, the most democratic platform for organizing a horizontal discussion in society; it does not require the embellishments that television does. Some people argue that you can also be truthful on television. I agree, but to achieve a good picture, one must apply makeup—this alone reveals a lot about television. Radio, on the other hand, does not carry this burden. Paradoxically, although the audience does not see the people on radio, they can distinctly sense when someone is reading from a script or computer screen next to the microphone. Thus, radio by its very nature demands more sincerity and authenticity. Technically, it is also easier to create than television, which is another consideration. Moreover, it offers more opportunities for audience participation in programs; you just have to call, or sometimes you can simply write through a messenger, and your message will be read or reacted to on air."
