Don't write off radio; watch and learn from its slow decline
Quote
But the radio thing has not, people say radio is dying. But if that's true, then it's been this sort of slow, like, very glacial decline for many, many years. And so we've got all this, like we can watch it happening and like adjust to what is happening.

Summary
Local newspapers died before anyone understood what was happening. Radio, if it's dying at all, is in a glacial decline we can watch and adapt to. Dave urges podcast tech and podcasters to study what radio got right: it and broadcast TV may be the last industries not fully captured by Silicon Valley.

The local newspapers got, the internet came on board, came online, and we lost local newspapers before people really even understood what was happening. It was so fast.

I think we're really going to have to pay some attention to radio and, and figure out what they were doing, right.
