So I know who two of you is. One is Carole Terry, who has motivated me with this blog more than she'll know. And the second is John Panek. He listens between bouts of weightlifting. He retired from the City of Hammond and took up working out and now he looks like someone shoved an air hose up his backside and pumped up all his muscles. Don't mess with Panek these days.

It's 4:19 on a Wednesday morning. This used to be my short day. Instead of doing a show from 5:30am to 10am like most days, on Wednesdays I would get off at 8am when Kusiak and Reardon came in for their show. Now, however, I pretty much get off at 8am or 8:30 most days. Sam Michel mostly hosts after 8am.
This new schedule has allowed me some free time to save radio. That's not entirely accurate. I'm not out to save radio. I'm out to update it. For some reason, fate has put me in Hammond, Indiana, with two radio stations and some brand new studios and a 400-foot tower and a bunch of college broadcasting students and recent grads around me and next thing you know these ideas on how to do radio better come to mind. It really is radio when you go in a room and start talking to the closet door. Some say it’s not. I say it is.
That’s how deep the loyalty to radio must run. I actually wonder if I’m throwing away my principles by embracing podcasting. Imagine that.

I run radio stations and a streaming video network in Hammond, Ind., and write this blog.
