Monday morning, a young woman called into the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show
and thanked the host for bettering her life. She was a survivor, and the radio
show had become a ritualistic source of comfort for her. She claimed that Elvis
had “cured her cancer.” In its typical jocular fashion, the cast speculated whether
they could, in fact, cure cancer. The next caller said that she’d listened to
the show on the drive to each of her chemotherapy appointments, and the third
caller said she was headed to an infusion appointment that very moment.
