I have always enjoyed this amazing speaker and orator. A great listener makes a good speaker I believe. Pay attention to those around you and you might learn some things!

His delivery was paced and deliberate. Also quite unique. He delivered every news story as though he was telling a patient that the patient had stage four cancer.

he was the king newsman back in the 20th century. everyone listened to him. he was honest, direct, told the truth in a convincing authoritative way & didn't waste words. what i liked most about him was his "strait-ahead" exact style. that's how i am. another words, if someone asked me, "karlon, how do you think the band was"? & if the band was lousy, i'd say, "well robert, their delivery was horrible, they can't play worth beans & the singer is flat often". yup! just like that! why lie? i had a girlfriend awhile ago who couldn't cook worth crumbs & she asked me about a dinner she made for me & i told her the truth immediately. she didn't like that at all. she cooked small pieces of chicken for 2 & a half hours at 350 degrees! holy heavens". the chicken was softer than berries. she never cooked for me again. good!!!

I remember listening to him sometimes on my evening commute which was about an hour long. He was a great storyteller and interviewer. The one show that sticks out in my mind was when he was talking to a vietnam veteran who had been a prisoner of war.

Best time to listen, in the car, right? I always thought he was so interesting.
