    Ironically, people like Radio are what make life worth living. They are sources of pure happiness and unconditionally love others which is something we all forget as we grow older and older... God was always with Radio and provided for him.

    I watched the movie “Radio” years after it came out I think I was probably 8 or 7 and was one of the first movies that really touched me and I cried to whenever I would watch it. This movie also inspired me to pursue a career in filmmaking because I want to share stories like James’s to the world. R.i.p 🙏🏻🥺❤️

    Radio got what he deserved. A place to go every day where he was important, a schedule to keep, and friendships that made a big impact. Basically to him school/football/and friends were his life.

    When I was first introduced to this movie played by Cuba Gooding Jr. was in the 6th grade in health class back in 2004-2005 and instantly fell in love with this movie. I teared up so many times and till this day forward I still do. The nostalgia runs so deep. It's been 15yrs since I was introduced to this film. Next year I'll be 30. Thank you Lord and thank you Ms. Tobias. God bless us all
