For decades, people in the Boston area and beyond have welcomed Ron Della Chiesa into their homes — every Saturday at 8 p.m. to be exact. That's when they turn their radios — and now, their Internet browsers — to 99.5, to listen in as he broadcasts live from Symphony Hall, transmitting the "electric" atmosphere inside the building through radio waves and out to the world.
"I try to bring the enthusiasm of a sporting event into what I do on the radio," he says, adding that a great performance by the Symphony Orchestra or Pops is, for him, much like an exciting game at Fenway or the Garden. "People are very, very passionate about sports and they're passionate about music too."
