Is college radio dying?
It was college radio that started my long, tortuous trip from introvert to professional extrovert. I was a disc jockey, newscaster, and music director of my college station during my three and one-half years in higher ed and it was one of the highlights of my life. I still miss broadcasting, as I miss directing high school plays, but my other duties are just as public and require many of the same skills, so I don't lament too much.
Still, there's something to be said about playing Theolonius Monk at 3 in the morning, sitting in a quiet studio illuminated by just one desk lamp and knowing that your entire audience is either insomniacs or those closing down some dingy bar on Main Street.
