He was a customer of a former employer back in the 1990s. Actually was a pretty nice guy IRL.

I don't think his more rabid fans and detractors realized that most of his on air stuff was shtick, Ticom? 

I really liked G. Gordon Liddy's show from that era. Gord was a first class nut, instructing his listeners regularly of the many way's to kill someone with a freshly sharpened No. 2 pencil.


Liddy was entertaining. They were both on 770 AM WABC in the afternoon and evening back in the 1990s.

They both knew their audiences and whether entertained, enlightened, or outraged people were still listening to their shows, and talking about it. It was either "He said this yesterday and it was in The (NY) Post today!" or "Do you know what that (expletive) said in the radio?!"

That was the NY talk radio scene back then.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
