"Are we developing fans, or just collecting streams?

Some listeners won’t care whether a show is AI-generated. I’m sure of that. Still, I believe an overwhelming majority will want personality, original experiences, and a human perspective more than anything else. That’s what has made audio content discernible since the beginning.

"The Super Bowl is more than a football game, it's America culture. ESPN doesn’t have to convince viewers why they should watch, as it has worked to do with the College Football Playoff National Championship."

"Stunts don’t need to be death-defying — they can take place in the studio or at a client location instead of on a river full of killers."

This shouldn’t take much time and, in fact, might add to the on-air conversation. The host can give real reasons why some of the polls about your market’s midterms are good or bogus, beyond “How can Candidate X be ahead?” or “You can’t believe any of the polls.”

"This series of music felt like I was in a millennial fever dream, sparking memories that spanned nearly 30 years."

"Voters were asked to answer up to six questions and list which groups and individuals were most important to their business in exact order."

“Radio changes lives when people show up, trust their teammates and serve the audience.”

"The Super Bowl is still free. Enjoy it while you can. Someday, the most expensive part of your Super Bowl party might not be the beer, the wings or the ridiculous price of guacamole."

It’s about belonging. Viewers feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves. The best News/Talk stations create that same feeling. They become a gathering place for listeners who share common interests, concerns, passions and experiences.
