Radio: This is Who You Are


Listen Later

There was an awful lot of opinions being passed around on social media about radio and where it is at. First comes the news from Futuri that they are releasing Radio GPT which is AI Jocks for your radio station. I cannot for the life of me figure out why people are offended or upset by this. I say.... Bring it. Then there was the launch of 102.7 The Pole in Kingston, Ontario which is cute, clever, sexist, misogynistic dated, archaic, well-written and imaged, and unfolding as we launch this episode.
Somehow the radio critiques who are banging away on their keyboards don't understand that this is what radio is: Progressing towards AI while regressing back 30 years with old dated launch strategies that only work today because the people in charge have not evolved the medium. In short - both these things are happening for the same reason.
Sound quality on this is not ideal as I recorded this in an echoey loft in Spain.
