In ROUND 6 of BackTalk, Steve Erickson & I dissect college radio. It’s often seen as a haven for new, diverse, and obscure music, and thus more inclusive than mainstream radio. That may be true, but does it have its own gatekeeping issues?
We get into that, as well as its history, current state, how it compares to other forms of independent and online radio, and where it might be going.
Are you a fan of radio in general, or do you exclusively stream your music? Have you ever listened to college radio? What do you think of the health of independent radio? Discuss dammit!
Check out Steve's show, RADIO NOT RADIO, on Mixcloud!
