On radio man would listen (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'listen' is the definition.
(I know that listen can be written as heed)

'on radio man would' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'man' could be 'he' (pronoun for a man) and 'he' is present in the answer.
'would' could be 'd' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'd' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heed that I've seen before include "Regard" , "Be mindful of" , "Take notice of" , "Mark" , "Consider" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
