An Evolution is Coming

Over the years, From Radioland has gone from being a weird, long, rambling thing to what it is now. Rather concise and somewhat structured. Guess what? I'm gonna change things up a bit.

Don't panic.

What is currently in the show is not going anywhere. We're just going to add a few things to the production. I'll tell you about some of these changes in this episode.

FM Sucks

Pretty blatant statement that I think most of you agree with. At least those I talk to seem to be repeating at every conversation. In what has become a series of episodes examining the impact of the internet on all things in our society, media is certainly one of those things.

The problem here is the corporate stiffs have no clue how to adapt to this brave new media world.

The NAB is Wrong

Like many other industries, broadcasters have a lobby group. And like many lobby groups, they are in the dark about the industry they are supposed to work for. The National Association of Broadcasters is one such group.

For some reason, someone at the NAB thought I should be added to their mailing list. Considering, the NAB only represents AM/FM terrestrial broadcasters, I clearly don't need to be a part of this thing. Nor would I want to be.

Their annual convention is coming up later this month and guess who got an invite.

The Seduction of the Microphone

In all of the years I have been in this business, I have never seen anything more strange than the power a humble microphone can have over people. It can do a lot of things to people, actually. But, one of the more fascinating things it has is this thing it does to some people psychologically. It's not pretty either.

"I have been told by a lot of people that I have a good voice for radio."

That may be true, but you certainly don't have the mental issues you need to actually do this.
