Mr. Media Interviews By Bob Andelman

From 2009: My guest today, Air America morning radio host Lionel, is waaaaay smarter than me. I’m not going to offer any pretense that I can battle him to even a draw in a battle of wits: I can’t. Lionel—Michael LeBron for those in the know—has been a voice heard on my radio for some 20 years. I first heard him as a frequent irritant—I mean caller—to host Bob Lassiter on WFLA 970 AM in Tampa. Sometimes, as I remember it, he agreed with Lassiter. But mostly, he drove him nuts.
