Personally, I’ve always enjoyed Johnny Darko’s audio reviews. Afterall, at the end of the day this is about entertainment. Growing up in the 1960’s our entertainment came from Television and Radio. In those days all signals were broadcast through the air to the receiver in your television or radio. There were only 7 TV stations to choose from: three network, three independent and one public station. And a few dozen radio stations to choose from on either the AM or FM bands.
So the media had a much greater impact on the public because you had to watch or listen to one of these stations which had much larger audiences in those days.
Today these stations still exist, but have been largely displaced by Internet TV and radio as well as satellite based programming. As such, the mainstream media pie has been sliced so thin that it no longer has the impact that it once did. Today, anyone with an Internet connection and an iPhone can become a media personality. And those with talent can grow their viewership into millions of subscribers while having a major influence on their daily lives. Perhaps YouTube is the best example of providing a venue for this. As the late Aldous Huxley once wrote: "It is a brave new world."
