Radio still rules!

Posted on | February 21, 2009 | No Comments

I do a radio talk show, I host it anyway, 4 nights a week in Dubai.

What I have learned is that people, all sorts of people, love to think that their ideas matter and that others might be interested in what they have to say.

And in Dubai there is an added dimension of people wanting to be able to have at least a piece of influence on the government, getting an idea out there, and there is no doubt that the government does listen.

I like to think I am making a difference to a nation by bringing to the airwaves topics that others join in and comment on.

My wish? A day when my students do exactly what I am doing in the form of community radio in every remote corner of the UAE!

I wonder why more people don’t reach for the stars?
