Liebes explains, "Its view of the audience is not at all limited to reporting on what people do "with" the media, but also in the spirit of critical theory, on what the media do "to" them". Herzog's choice to interview the radio listeners, rather than simply analyse the content, gives the listeners a voice and the opportunity to justify their actions, as opposed to Herzog making assumptions. Liebes explains "This is read as treating audiences with respect, analyzing the content from their own perspective." 320:"Listening as means of remodelling one’s drudgery:" Herzog suggests listeners tend to fictionalize themselves in order to be able to experience what is occurring in the radio program.

"Listening provides them with an ideology to be applied in the appraisal of the world which is actually confronting them." The radio programs offer listener's with "remedies" to confront their problems. 309:

"why do you listen to the programs?" and "what do you do with what you hear on the programs?" From the responses to these questions,
317:"Listening as emotional release:" Herzog highlights that the radio programs offers listener's emotional stimuli and opportunities for emotional release, such as through crying and excitement. Herzog also points out listeners feel relief knowing "other people had their troubles too." 479: 594:
