WRITERS REGARD RADIO EITHER AS THEIR DARLING OR AS THEIR NEMESIS.
If I had a "thing" radio would be it. I write good radio with my eye's closed because that's how it is done best:) I love it because as a writer, one can really own it - and a great script is very much like a great piece of music. Pure audio has seen something of a renaissance in the digital domain via podcasts and blogging thanks to efficient codecs like the ubiquitous mp3 and resulting small file sizes. It is also significant that massive volumes of digital river data flows through smartphones, devices still designed primarily for holding against your ear:) Thar's gold in them thar waves!
