Ameni Rozsa : "Radio was made for the lonely,
the displaced and the out of touch. Its sound is our guardian angel, ubiquitous but unassuming. We move about our business while radio patiently follows. Its persistence soothes even our most sudden and sharp-edged isolations, softens the spaces between our souls and the ever-distant walls. In these ways, radio is forgiving, and the lonely are in need of forgiveness."
