Roger Herman is provocative. He stimulates thinking, challenging, exploring, explaining, and revealing probabilities that go way beyond current thinking. A reporter who heard Roger speak a few years ago simply didn’t believe his forecasts. She described him as a "crackpot." Now, having seen his predictions come true, she calls him a "visionary." Talk show interviewers depict him as "fascinating," "contrarian," and a man who "can see around corners." His solid content and sharp insights make Mr. Herman a popular guest on radio and television talk shows coast to coast. Mike Murphy of KCMO Talk Radio, Kansas City, declared, "My interview with Roger Herman ranks as one of our top ten shows of the year."
