Top of the Tower Podcast #057: Dr. Donna Halper, Hall of Famer
In this week’s edition:
The Massachusetts Broadcasters Association inducts its newest Hall of Fame class June 8, and it’s a great one: WCVB sports legend Mike Lynch, Costa-Eagle Broadcasting’s Pat Costa, WBZ radio’s Carl Stevens and our good friend Dr. Donna Halper, broadcasting historian, Lesley University professor and, oh yeah, the music director who broke the band Rush in the US.
In this wide-ranging conversation, I talked to Donna about the state of radio today and much much more.
And yes, we talked about Rush, too!
We’re brought to you, as always, by our friends at Yellowtec US.
