Actually a radian is an angular measurement whereas a Hertz (hertz) is a

1 radian = 57.2958 degrees
1 hertz = 1 cycle per second
But, but, but..... 1 cycle = 360 degrees = 2*pi radians, so
frequency can be expressed in radians/second, although the
numbers get unwieldy because frequencies which are an integral
number of Hertz are not an integral number if expressed in
radians/second.
I'm still not used to the Siemens (pronounced Zee-mans)
replacing Mho for units of conductance.
