The Radio Nerd

The Radio Nerd

The Radio Nerd Podcast is for those who are intrigued by the broadcast radio medium. I'm Sid, your host, and I present general topics about radio broadcasting in language that general radio listeners will understand and that will help them to enhance their knowledge of the medium. The information I provide on the episodes is just a taste of what all is out there in terms of whatever topic I'm covering that week. My goal with this podcast is to provoke some interest in various aspects of the radio broadcast industry and its history, in hopes that you, the listener, hear something that inspires you to want to go do your own research and see where it takes you, and I would encourage fellow radio nerds, and those who desire to become a radio nerd, to do just that. Got ideas or feedback? I'll take 'em at theradionerdpodcast@gmail.com, and if you dig what I'm nerding out on, please become a subscriber to this podcast on your favorite podcast provider!
