저야 영광이죠 (It would be an honor)

저 – pronoun I; me (the humble or casual form used by the speaker to refer to himself/herself for the purpose of showing humility to the listener)

~야 – postpositional particle used to emphasize the preceding word 

영광 – (n.) glory

Casual – 나야 영광이지 

Semi-polite – 저야 영광이죠

Polite – 영광입니다. 

>> “저야” means “for me” with an emphasis on “me” thanks to the postpositional particle “~야.” “영광이죠” means “it would be an honor”. In other words, with the emphasis on “me,” the speaker is emphasizing that he appreciates the offer and the honor is HIS and not the other person’s. 

>>In the dialogue, “불러주시면” literally means “to call for or call out for,” but in context it means if you ask me to make an appearance on the radio show.
