What radio?

Holy crap! I am old?

I was just thinking about the question posed by Leo Laporte; "Is radio dead?"

Yup, he asked that right here on the Pownce but that is not what I'm thinking about. What has me writing this wordy diatribe is what I wrote for a response. I apparently have an affinity for talk radio, makes sense due to the amount of podcasts I listen to. Really though I listen to more people babble on than I do to good ol' music.

Seriously, my commute to work has me listening to Thom Hartmann, who I must say is one of the most brilliant people I have heard on the radio. It is a show that is in stark contrast to the show I listen to on the ride home which happens to be Coast to Coast AM hosted by George Noory.

Is it the fact that I am older now or just the fact that I do not enjoy the auditory feces people call music these days. I know I'm being a bit harsh but on occasion I feel that way especially when you can just get on the internet and discover and download music you do like. Which makes me want to mention www.archive.org mainly because what I do listen to tends to be bands that allow tapers and many of their live shows are posted there. Good times.

Well that's about it. I think it's just a matter of where you are in life and at this point I would rather listen to people blabbing.
