Radio is a Sound Salvation
Radio today is in a pretty sad state of affairs. I don't much care for the stale musical formats, or the spittle-flecked demagoguery of political pundits, so I prefer to imagine myself back in radio's Golden Age, a time when receivers were works of art in wood and plastic, and kids listened to thrilling action serials like the Batman Mystery Club, and Hopalong Cassidy westerns, saving box tops and labels to send away for fabulous premiums like a Captain Midnight Mystery Dial Code-O-Graph.

I have a foolish hope that when the big money interests migrate off to digital radio, old-style radio can regenerate as a more eclectic, indie, backwater medium. But it'll probably just get taken over by money grubbers from even deeper in the bottom of the barrel.

See my previous post on indies. The big boys have always co-opted eclectic, backwater mediums and perverted them to their own devious ends.
