Radio stations play what they believe is in, and they all talk to each other.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Radio, in a way, is preaching.
There is a feeling, when you listen to radio, that it's one person, and they're talking to you, and you really feel their presence as one person.
Radio is more powerful the closer we mimic the way we actually speak to each other. That's why Howard Stern is such a great radio talent. People on his show are actually speaking to each other. You might not like what they're saying, but they're real conversations.
Radio is a really strange business now, too. There's a very narrow door and a very few people control what gets played.
Basically, radio hasn't changed over the years. Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience.
Radio allowed people to act with their hearts and minds.
My friends are mostly familiar with music that plays on the mainstream radio.
Gossip is the Devil's radio.
The radio is good for taking somebody else's experience and making you understand what it would be like. Because when you don't see someone, but you hear them talking - and, uh, that is what radio is all about - it's like when someone is talking from the heart. Everything about it conspires to take you into somebody else's world.
People don't listen to terrestrial radio. They don't find their music that way. They don't get their news that way. They go to blogs. They go through Sirius/XM. They go through all these different places.
