There was something refreshing recently about hearing someone call in to an AM radio station. She was asking how to rid her yard of moles, and the host gave her the names of two companies that could help her. Although hearing the caller verify the spellings of each company's name didn't make for riveting listening, it was reassuring to hear a host being helpful and two strangers treating each other civilly.
You don't hear as much of that type of civility on the radio--or in life--these days.
