I wouldn't want an apology for anything done in the past that was intentional at the time. I'm one of those that prescribe to a "live and learn" type attitude. If someone wronged me by mistake or misunderstanding, I guess an apology would at least allow me to understand more about what happened.
In regards to the radio show, I don't think it's odd for people to receive closure from a long overdue apology. There are around seven billion people on this planet and each has a different assortment of history and personality (they're not all great or interesting, but still). Not thinking about another's possible circumstances, and making an internet forum post out of it, makes an op look like an insensitive ass.
