The bearing is on the nose of the aircraft or the direction TO the station.
The radial is on the tail of the aircraft or the direction FROM the station.
Um.... Bearing doesnt have to be TO a station. Can also be FROM.

And, being pedantic, aren't radials from VORs only? I.e. When using NDBs reference should be made to Magnetic Bearing From.
