"La gente no puede creer que uno salga de un lugar que lideró muchos años": Marcelo Longobardi

Marcelo Longobardi appeared on Vuelta y Media and spoke about his decision to leave radio and start his own YouTube channel. "I try to be myself, just as it comes out. I work hard; I think we present the best morning news summary in Argentina, by far." "I decided a while ago to make a change. It's a tough thing to make a change, because when you decide to change, you encounter resistance. People can't believe that you'd decide to leave a place you led for so many years. The truth is, I couldn't take it anymore." "Having worked for 25 years on morning radio... You miss out on so much. I never saw my children leave school, you're enslaved by the clock, you start working when you go to sleep, and there's the pressure of the ratings. I had the privilege of being a leader for so many years, and that ultimately puts you under enormous pressure. I didn't enjoy it." "The fact that I worked for 25 years on morning radio... You miss out on so much. I never saw my children leave school, you live enslaved by time, you start working when you go to sleep, and there's the pressure of the ratings. I had the privilege of being a leader for so many years, and that ultimately puts you under tremendous ...I was doing well." "I've already lived through 25 years of leadership, 50 points of market share, damn it. I've been through it, I suffered through it, and I enjoyed it. Now I want to play well." "I was a critic of Néstor Kirchner from day one, even before he took office. First, I always found him a questionable figure, and second, due to a methodological problem. I can't conceive of journalism being close to power. I don't want to say opposed to it, but certainly distanced from it." "I hid the fact that I hadn't finished high school for a long time because I was very ashamed, until, in therapy, I learned to reconcile myself with that idea and, instead of seeing it as a tragedy, see it as a kind of merit." "I never met Javier Milei, and I wouldn't now." "People assume I'm very cultured, which isn't true." "I don't believe that I'm very cultured." "I'm terrible at negotiating; I never made this a big business (...). Because my salary was noticeably low compared to the proportion of my radio program's revenue, [Héctor] Magnetto made me an exception, which was a trust in the United States." Urbana Play 104.3 FM.
