Mi chiamano Radio (Radio) è un film del 2003 diretto da Michael Tollin. Il film è basato sulla vera storia di Harold Jones (Ed Harris), allenatore di alla e un giovane mentalmente ritardato James Robert "Radio" Kennedy (Cuba Gooding, Jr.). Nel film recitano anche Debra Winger e Alfre Woodard: la fonte d'ispirazione per il soggetto è stato un articolo del 1996 apparso sulla rivista Sports Illustrated scritto Gary Smith. James Robert Kennedy (nato il 14 ottobre 1946 ad Anderson nella Carolina del Sud e deceduto il 15 dicembre 2019), cresce affascinato dalla tecnologia della radio. Il suo soprannome, "Radio", gli viene dato dai suoi concittadini per via della radiolina che porta con sé ovunque vada.
