Radio Survivor

Matthew Lasar starts off this episode by declar­ing that this was the year that his under­grad­u­ate stu­dents stopped lis­ten­ing to broad­cast AM/FM radio. Then he admits, he’s near­ly stopped, too. Find out why in this live­ly run­down of what was sig­nif­i­cant to radio in 2019.

On the oth­er hand, our res­i­dent col­lege radio expert Jen­nifer Waits reports that she’s lis­ten­ing to more ter­res­tri­al radio than ever, even as she notes that col­lege broad­cast­ers are mak­ing more pod­casts, often focused on increas­ing the diver­si­ty of voic­es in audio media.

Paul Riis­man­del notes that the come­back of phys­i­cal audio media is reach­ing a kind of apoth­e­o­sis, as he’s received word of a new Mini­disc Day com­ing our way in 2020, inspired by the likes of Record Store Day and Cas­sette Store Day. It seems all audio and radio tech is good as we close out the sec­ond decade of the 21st century.
