As I said, short of shouting. Shouting is less effective on radio, I guess.
NPR has commercials for TV shows on Fox (yeah, I was startled), car dealerships, charities (they may be not-for-profit, but the exec's profit and they pay for spots), summer camps, private schools, etc, etc. They to try to keep only high-tone stuff in there, but as the man said, "we've already established what kind of person you are, now we are just haggling over the price."
