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.

 David Brudnoy, RIP (BatesLine)
Brudnoy was a homosexual, which he revealed after nearly dying 10 years ago from an AIDS-related infection, but he did not make his sexual preference the focus of his identity or his radio program.
Brudnoy could and did devote a great deal of attention to national politics, but he spent as much time on local issues and seemed especially to relish the personalities and political and cultural intricacies of Boston.
Brudnoy celebrated life -- films, theatre, travel, wine, classical music, literature -- and demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge of virtually all subjects, with only one notable exception -- he was charmingly ignorant of professional sports and relentlessly tweaked Boston for its obsession with athletics.

 Print Version: An appreciation
Born in Minneapolis in 1940, the son of the late Dr. Harry Brudnoy and Doris (Axilrod) Brudnoy, he graduated from Yale with a degree in Japanese studies, received a masters in East Asian studies from Harvard, another master's from Brandeis University in the history of American civilization and a doctorate from Brandeis in history.
Brudnoy never shied away from his Jewish way of thinking or his conservative principles even though many of the eulogies have painted him with an ecumenical persona.
Brudnoy's climb to the top of the media ladder in the bluest of blue states was all the more remarkable especially since his political views were almost unheard of in Massachusetts at the time, but the conversation he created then, with its conservative and libertarian themes, goes on today.
