17. Most radio stations are brain eating zombies now.

Mon Jul 20, 2020, 10:18 AM

Jul 2020

There are only a few bright spots left on the radio spectrum.

My mom used to work in radio when it had local disc jockeys, news reporters, owners, personalities etc... WKRP in Cincinnati wasn't too far off the mark.

That kind of radio is rare now. The right wing corporate takeover of radio has infected public radio stations as well.

Hate radio needs to die.

Maybe it will as its audience ages out.

I've noticed how the young people in my family don't pay any attention to radio. They have their music their podcasts, and their audio books on their cell phones and they listen to those while driving.
