Audio can build great relationships – listening to digital audio for example is often a very personal experience, with most of us listening via headphones. Radio listeners often feel that they have a personal relationship with the presenters; they feel that the presenters are speaking directly to them and any information they hear is trusted – in the same way that you trust your friends.
