I love radio. I think it’s important to say what I mean by “radio.†Over-the-air AM-FM radio – sound embedded in electromagnetic, radio frequency energy. The art form radio people developed and evolved for making shows and services in sound, for broadcast through the air. You can argue that “radio†is also distributed on the Internet, over wires, and, in a secondary way, through the air to your cellphone (now quaintly called “wireless). Technique-ly, that’s radio, too.
But I still have a special affection, scrambled with frustration and resentment, for the American system of local radio stations, now obsolete, and the American radio business, which is struggling to avoid obsolescence. I worked in it for half my working life, and dreamed about it my entire childhood.
So, while I’ll try to be objective in writing about it here, where I hope to make this site a place where you can learn some things about it, I know I’m not. I’ll try to make my biases apparent, and I trust you to tell me when I don’t.
Love isn’t objective.
