Response to Piper's Blog

I think Piper made a really interesting point in her response to the radio lecture about connecting new radio with old radio. With the demassification of radio due to television and the Internet our perception of what radio initially was is completely different. I think it was really cool that she listened to the radio station Mr. Miller talked about and observed the obvious difference between new and old radio. Today, radio holds the upper hand in recorded music, which is why they are still as successful as they are. But initially, it was a large source of advertising and mainly talk shows. Of course, even on today's radio there are plenty of all three but I think it's interesting to think about what people use to expect when they turned on the radio when it was in its golden age, and what we expect when we turn it on now.
