I decided to start with internet radio, because it made the most sense.  It was the quickest, most economical way to get on the air on this large a scale.  Also, I've always had a soft spot for radio.  It's the original broadcast medium.  It's where everything started, and it was invented by a fellow Italian, Guglielmo Marconi.  It's where I got my start, in college, at a tiny little 100 watt station in the sticks of northern NJ.  While a far cry from Marconi's attic, it's ancient, compared to today.  I'll never forget this PSA I used to play.  It was James Earl Jones, talking about the radio.  He said, “The radio is more than news, more than music more than sports.  It's the soundtrack of our memories.  It touches all our lives.  Life wouldn't be the same without it.”  I have it on cassette somewhere, I'll have to dig it up and put it online one of these days.

It's not like that out there, anymore.  The corporate stations have turned conventional radio into a wasteland of repetitively churned out junk, with more commercials and mindless chatter than real content.  Thanks to the internet, old style radio is enjoying a bit of resurgence. Blog Talk Radio provides the perfect platform for broadcasters like me.  Anyone, anywhere, with just a telephone and a computer, has the ability to host a live, Internet Radio show.  It's a perfect first step towards live, 24/7 content.

We foster a cooperative environment here and still live by the school-yard axiom of “you watch my back, I'll watch yours.”

We don't want to hear some rich guy complaining about how hard he has it because he only made 4 billion last year instead of 5, so he has to lay off 5000 employees and ship their jobs overseas.  I don't need some talking head, that works for said rich guy, on TV or radio telling me it's my fault that I can't get a job that pays a living wage, because I have the audacity to ask for a job that pays a living wage.  Or, better yet, because I voted for the wrong guy.  I don't care about them and they sure as hell don't care about me.  They don't care about any of us, just our money.  That's really the only thing they want from any of us.

There comes a time where fighting the good fight feels like a losing battle and you just have to decide if it's worth fighting for.  That's when you make a decision, keep going the way you're going or change things.  And that's what we decided to do, change things.  Because we knew fighting the good fight and doing everything right was never going to get us what we wanted in the long run.  We were always going to be slaves to the people at the top, so we decided to get out and do our own thing... and here we are.
