David Brudnoy, long time host of the David Brudnoy Show on WBZ News Radio 1030 in Boston died a few hours ago at age 64.
When I moved to Boston in January 1999, I knew very little of the culture and politics of the city. It didn’t take me long though to discover WBZ News Radio 1030.. and then only a few days to discover the David Brudnoy Show.
David had almost a calming show sense about him – and it was that voice of his that first drew me to the show. But after listening, only for a few minutes, I realized that he was indeed something special – and it was his intellect that drew me in.
David Brudnoy could interview like no one I had ever heard before. Whether he was interviewing one of the three governors that have served during my time here in the Commonwealth – or an eleven year old child who had called into his show, David made the show interesting.
Much can be said about a person simply by watching, from afar, at how they lead their lives. More can be said about a man with how they face their own death. And David faced his with dignity and a deep understanding of the short time that he had before him…
Deep Peace, David…
