The most incredible thing about the two clips here (the one talking about being a live radio broadcaster when he was 9 and the clip explaining about cochlear implants) is that his WHOLE life is about radio signals. He played with radio transmission as a kid, as an adult he uses radio as the medium of his career, and the way he hears at all is through a cochlear implant which communicates sound to him via a FM signal. He's a broadcaster by profession but without radio transmission he himself would be deaf to the outside world. Incredible!
