John Matarese kicks off with rising prices and the hassles and expenses of travel. Remember when checking a bag was free? Those days are fading fast, with Southwest joining other major airlines in charging $35 per checked bag. Travel perks have dwindled.
KiddChris shares a story about how his former station in Syracuse leaked Pearl Jam's album "Yield" before its official release, resulting in a standoff with the record company and a mountain of free swag. He also reflects on why he turned down an opportunity on “Maxim Radio” when satellite radio was emerging. SiriusXM recently introduced ad-supported music tiers. This offers a commentary on the challenges and ironies within the modern media industry, something many listeners working in or consuming media can appreciate.
