I did once, was a small town and a local radio station, and I had stage fright so bad I am not sure I made any sense. Another time visiting another town I was accosted on the street by a roving radio reporter and asked my opinion on set belts, it happened so fast I didn't have time to get stage fright.

No. The most I've done is participate in a townhall chatroom when the local news had a discussion panel about...I forget now.

Never called in anything but have been interviewed on-camera for local TV as several of my activism gatherings.

Yes. I've called in on radio discussion topics before, but that's been a good decade plus ago now.

One of my TV quotes at a gay pride rally in 1996 was picked up by an activist group and is on the Web to this day.
http://bi.org/biworld/us.html
USA
August 1996
Southeast Region
Bisexuals and transgender people received local network coverage on the ABC affiliate channel in Gainesville, FL. Members of the Gainesville Bisexual Alliance were each quoted twice, complete with our organizational affiliation under our names. This coverage was a focus on Pride events going on in the area. Rob Boyte was quoted saying, "You don't have to be gay. You don't have to be straight. There's a lot of us who have a tendency that we can experience sexuality with either gender, and it's perfectly natural." The Gainesville Bisexual Alliance banner was shown briefly two or three times. Ann Shranz was probably the first person to say "transgender" on Channel 20, and Rob Boyte was probably the first person to define "bisexual" on the local newscast. Gainesville is also forming its first transgender support group.
