Despite the baby being breech and requiring a Caesarean section, Cassiday who gained permission from the hospital, was adamant that her listeners wouldn’t miss a minute of her son’s birth. She asked a hospital employee to hold up a phone, so her listeners could hear her and her husband welcome their baby son into the world during the morning radio show.
