I think with the rise of podcasts, people are simply replacing radio outright – we already tried both asking nicely & demanding, neither of which was very productive.

Our reward was the sonic felching of Bill-O, Rush Limbaugh or Bob Larson, or more bad overhyped Top-40 “music” – because we’re not really people, you see, we’re a product to be pimped to sponsors.

Take a look at how newspapers are on their way to rigor mortis – that’s radio in a couple of years. The main difference?

Radio makes a lousy birdcage-liner.
