Radio address for October 12, 2013, which finds me getting ready for a long drive, thinking about the radio and those static voices in the darkness, and where they might be found once radio is really dead.
A good companion episode to this one is the Howell Creek Radio address for January 21, 2008. If you listen to it, you’ll see why. It’s only the sixth episode I recorded, and it’s six minutes long.
Another great piece of further reading is The Quest to Save AM Before It’s Lost in Static by Edward Wyatt, a medium-length NYT article published on September 8, 2013.

Well done! I find am struggling with a longing for things past, most likely due to approaching my mid 40’s. To recall fondly but let go…rather than try and grasp hold. This is a bit like someone who goes through the throws of an ending relationship….fighting the urge to “drunk-dial” the past, accept that it was a privilege to experience, and move on.

At first I was quite concerned about those tires. “Used” and “tires” are words that I usually prefer not to associate.
However, used tires pale in comparison to the fright of listening to Dr. Laura.
