Radio - What Happened?
A look at the rise and fall of commercial radio, seen from the eyes of two baby boomers. Terry Bettis and Jim Christoferson both worked in local radio for years, in small to large markets. Their experience allows others to see what they see -- a virtual WKRP in every market across the country. Personalities, promotions, formats, actual air checks of the nation's top radio stations of the last 60 years -- all facets are talked about, listened to, and discussed in this weekly podcast.
Radio - What Happened?
Episode #19: Our talk with producer/director Roger King about his documentary "I Am What I Play". Great conversation about this incredible movie about 4 jocks who were strong enough to play what they wanted. And a replay of our Music Montage #2.

How many of you ever worked somewhere where you could play the songs you wanted to play? I'm guessing not many. But, back in the 60's/70's, there were a few who had a strong enough following, that management had no choice but to let them play what they wanted. "I Am What I Play" is a documentary about those 4 individuals, produced and directed by Roger King, our guest this week on "Radio: What Happened". Also, a replay of our Music Montage #2 -- I guess it was a little tougher than the last one - no winner yet. Come on people, you can do it! Hope you enjoy this week's episode and as always, share with your friends.
