Radio: This is Who You Are

<p>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 <a href="https://futurimedia.com/radiogpt/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Radio GPT</a> 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 <a href="https://www.1027thepole.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">102.7 The Pole in Kingston, Ontario</a> which is cute, clever, sexist, misogynistic dated, archaic, well-written and imaged, <a href="https://radio.securenetsystems.net/cirruscontent/WLYK" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">and unfolding as we launch this episode. </a></p><p>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.</p><p>Sound quality on this is not ideal as I recorded this in an echoey loft in Spain.</p><p>Thanks to those who make this possible: </p><p><a href="https://www.nlogic.ca/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NLogic: TV &amp; radio advertising and audience data solutions</a></p><p><a href="http://www.megatrax.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Megatrax</a>&nbsp;- Licensed Music for your radio station or podcast production company.</p><p><a href="https://share.poddin.io/e/b979c461-f173-471e-8148-cd38d2e2b6e2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Transcript of the show is available here. </a></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ht
