Back in the early 90's I booked guests to Brudnoy's show -- most notably perhaps, Harry Browne. Brudnoy took his own calls, did his own bookings and was a perfect gentleman -- a rarity among the media. He had a nack for taking you into his sphere and honestly informing you of what he wanted.

I would find myself going over a talent list thinking: "Who would Brudnoy want?" His guests loved their time with him. I did too.

I live in Brudnoy's building, although I only moved here last summer. He was unfailingly kind and held in deep affection by the staff and neighbors here, most of whom are dedicated leftists who start every conversation about him with "I didn't agree with his politics, but...." As a newcomer to Boston, I was amazed at the outpouring on his death. I am also amazed at how much right-wing/libertarian talk radio there is here. Even the sports guys are largely right-wing.
