David Brudnoy dies. I am deeply saddened by this news. David was a unique intellectual and gentleman in broadcasting, and I have been listening to his radio talk shows for over 20 years. My first interaction with David was when I was in high school and I called in to his show to challenge to a guest who was a memory expert. I've since called into his show a couple times a year, and was an in-studio guest at his Back Bay apartment last year (topic was "spam" junk email legislation and technology). David's producer served mixed drinks (I had two gin and tonics) and I met Fareed Zakaria who was the next guest on the show. Over the years David had influenced me with his anti-PC libertarianism, his knowledge and passion for history, his eloquence, and also his quest for learning and teaching and interacting with every caller and guest. Boston has changed with the passing of Dr. Brudnoy; may he rest in peace. ¶7:18 AM; digg
