Episode 23: Radio, Radio
We want the airwaves, baby! Chapter 23 of Rock N Roll Archaeology tunes into radio and radio culture in America and elsewhere. There was a brief moment in the 70s and early 80s where FM Rock Radio was something pretty special.So what was that like, and where have all the good times gone? Some storytelling in this one, but it’s a little heavier on the commentary...and of course we’re featuring some killer songs, because that’s how we roll.
“Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive, Plays that song that’s so elusive”
