Donna Halper - Radio, Religion, and Rush

Donna Halper is an associate professor of media at Lesley
University. She is also in the process of leading an incredible
life in radio as a music director, later as a consultant, and now
as a professor of media. She is largely credited for breaking new
bands including Rush when she was the music director of WMMS in
Cleveland. We spent our time reconnecting as I had e-mailed her
back in the 90’s to discuss radio. Our conversation dove-tailed
to religion and ironically, I had no idea about the vital role
she played in propelling the career of my favourite band, Rush.
It wasn’t until 1999 when I finally made the connection. This
week, I decided that it was time to meet her for the first time
and talk about some of the subjects that have been at the center
of my life… religion, radio and Rush.
