It's a shame what's happened to radio

Reflecting on my nine-year career as a disk jockey, I mourn the loss of the fun and personal connection that once defined radio. Corporate consolidation, cost-cutting measures like voicetracking, and the shift to algorithmic formats have turned stations into anonymous appliances. While I once thrived connecting with listeners at WBOW and WZZQ, the industry's focus on maximizing ratings over human interaction has made it irrelevant to me today.

"The evening jock on your favorite station probably recorded tonight's shift this morning in a studio in Tampa or Minneapolis."
