@DirtyTesLa@elonmusk@Starlink So are you going to be responsible for the amount of space junk that your satellites are causing as, from reports, they're failing on a daily basis?
This is my 28th year in breakfast radio.
My love for the medium and its power and potential deepens all the time. As does my anger at the amount of formulaic coasters, poseurs and curated personas diluting what radio should be about.
My job isn't to uphold the conventions of the format, it's to evolve out of what's worked before. Right now in a divided and angry world, radio can be a force for unity, empathy, shared experience, realness, and JOY.
Time for the pros to rise up, drop the acts and really show up. Play with the unparalleled possibility radio offers above any other medium.
I'm still yet to hear anyone play with radio greater than @prodnose. He still inspires me like Steve Wright did.
Video didn't kill the radio star, but mediocrity will.
