The Ruler and the Regent; The Audio Monarchy [ENCORE]

King Radio was forged from silence. Prince Podcasting and all the other Regents that follow came into power because of what the original ruler established. To fully understand the future of the sound industry, we must reexamine the history of the landscape and the King’s 6 courtly laws he first established. Because through Radio’s first design, we can discover the future of this vast kingdom. Ad Infinitum hired me to produce an episode on the history of radio and the future of the industry, and this is its ENCORE episode. Thank you to Oxford Road, Ad Infinitium, and Stew Redwine for letting me run this ENCORE and for hiring me to produce it in the first place. The original episode can be found here.

Radio Station Jingles: 80 Years of Earworms [ENCORE]

Radio IDs, something few of us (me included) think of but have all experienced and cherished. They are those fun zingers, prompting a new radio show or DJ.

Twenty Thousand Hertz hired me to produce an episode on Radio IDs and now I’m sharing its ENCORE. Thank you to Twenty Thousand Hertz, Dallas Taylor, and Casey Emmerling for letting me run this ENCORE and for hiring me to produce it in the first place. The original episode can be found here.
