"On local Radio in the time of covid-19". From March 17, 2020. In the midst of a pandemic of the covid-19 corona virus, most of what makes up "normal" activity for hundreds of millions of people is disrupted. Sports, late-night tv talk, restaurants, bars and theatres are closed. People still need routine. Radio can be a big part of that. While every news outlet in every form of media works extra-hard under difficult circumstances, Radio can continue to adapt and do even more. Some thoughts from my career in crisis-coverage in radio. While radio keeps up its daily routine, providing news, information, entertainment, comfort, and companionship...it should bring in more. Stephen Colbert and other late-night tv hosts should move to radio.
This is the first episode produced entirely at home; different software, and a few issues to work out. Just like radio.
