The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Casey Kasem
- Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
- Basically, radio hasn’t changed over the years. Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues – communicating with an audience.
- Success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You’re only as good as the people you work with and the people you work for.
- For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.

I’ll be one of those guys people say, ‘Who’s that?’ about. And someone else will say, ‘He’s just some guy who used to be on the radio.’
- I like the storytelling and reading the letters, the long-distance dedications. Anytime in radio that you can reach somebody on an emotional level, you’re really connecting.
- Every station I was at, I never said goodbye – when I was in Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Oakland, and L.A. I don’t know why.
- I started radio in 1950 on the Lone Ranger radio program, a dramatic show that emanated from Detroit when I was 18 years old and just beginning college. I did that for a couple of years.
- We tell stories. We talk about statistics. And in 1978, we added an element of the show that gave it its heartbeat: the long distance dedication.
