00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: in the hospital. They tore it down. Okay, I told

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: them all they had to do with a few midgate

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: the place. But now they tore the entire hospital down.

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: It was the old naval hospital. If I exployed Bennett Field,

13

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: you see him in the airport. They saw the line

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: for your flight. That's what it means to look at that.

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: That's why all pilots drink wine before flying. What we

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: love about what we love about Art Volo is, uh

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: he is sort of radio's historian in a way. In

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: a way. Now, explain to everyone how you and I

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: met back in the early early nineties and what it

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: is you do that a lot of radio people are

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: familiar with. Well, what I do is I archive video

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: radio personalities. There's a guy by the name of Shotgun

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Tom Kelly out on the West Coast who with an

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: eight millimeter movie camera b V before video, and he

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: went into his station that he was at a B

29
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: one hundred out in San Diego, and he did a

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: video of all the DJs on the air. Now, Shotgun

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Tom Kelly, is that his legal born name? No, if

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: anybody whose last name is Kelly or Duran? Alright, alright, alright,

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: so so so you started, you took over. Well, I

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: saw the video and I said, wow, we all know

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: when an air check of a radio station is listening

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: to it on tape, how the station sounds. I said,

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: this is a like video air check. You can see

38
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: the body language and see what goes on in the studio.

39
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: It's like being with what Gary Brian calls the window

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: liquor and people that as young kids that wanted to

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: just put our face up against the window and watch

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: DJs while they did their thing. It's interesting and it

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: was just until it wasn't until recently when uh, people

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: were watching us live on online. The people got to

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: see what we look like, which I hate, by the way,

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: I'd rather you hear me and not know what I

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: look like. But it's too late. There's no more theater

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: of the mind exactly. So, how many different radio hosts

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: have you recorded and and distributed through your career? You

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: probably close to a thousand. Wow. Yeah, And and your

51
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: next question of where is it's gonna be? Who wouldn't

52
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: let you do it? And there's only been There's only

53
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: been three, has only been three Howard Howard Stern. Howard

54
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Stern has never let me in. Rick is hard to believe.

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: He's a big He's a big radio guy from Los Angele,

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, he was, and and uh and who was

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: the owing Jonathan Bryer and the big radio guy from Chicago? Chicago,

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: l A and New York. So the three biggest markets. Well,

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: I'm told that Rick D's didn't want anybody to see

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the kind of control board that he worked on because

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: unlike today's modern control panels you know on the radio stations,

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: he didn't like the slider controls. He liked the guy

63
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: you turned rotary? Yeah, and how come Howard wouldn't want

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: you in hot does the name of the control marijuana? Howard?

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. Howard is strange, you know, strange. See,

66
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Howard's the best in the business, I know, but he

67
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: maybe just I don't know. He's got his own car. Well,

68
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: I think I'll tell you why. I think he's mad

69
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: at me for the fact that I have a video

70
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: of him from a TV station in Detroit where he

71
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: was in Detroit at W four Radio in Detroit on

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: his knees begging into the video camera, please to me

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: and give me a chance. I just bought a new

74
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: car American. I'm quoting exactly what he said, and he said,

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: give me of teen minutes. You know, he was begging

76
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: for listeners because nobody in Detroit had ever heard of

77
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: and he hates that sounds like a great thing. But

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let you bash Howardward. But he was

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: new down he was, and he doesn't like the fact

80
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: that I am. But I think that's a great video,

81
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: and I would think that he would have put that

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: something I don't agree with, Daniel. I think he would

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: like that. I think I just don't think he wanted

84
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: you making money selling a video of him. I don't

85
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: make any money anyway. Down to Dave Brody, Well, my

86
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: question was the three names you mentioned, Jonathan brand Meyer,

87
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: Howard Stern, and Rickti's They're all television personalities. They're all

88
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: bigger than radio stars. It seems ironic they wouldn't want

89
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: to be on video and yet all the guys behind

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: the scenes that are never on camera. I said yes,

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm a freaking loser. Well, and another weird

92
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: thing that just happened in Detroit. We just had um

93
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Dick Burton was a very big Detroit disc jockey and

94
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: Dick is his daughter worked at Channel seven for twenty

95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: years and another guy from Channel seven in Detroit are

96
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: now on the station in Detroit radio. They went from

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: TV to radio, unusual usually goes the other way around.

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: And the program director was nervous for me to be

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: in the studio on their first day on the air

100
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: with my camera. I said, they're TV people. Camera is

101
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: not going to bother them. He goes, oh, yeah, I

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: guess you're ye. Radio and TV they're not the same though,

103
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: communicating on look, this is boring. Let can talk about

104
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: something else. Let's talk about I want to talk about

105
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: what like the exciting stuff you do. First of all,

106
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: he is radio's best friend, Art Volo. I didn't come

107
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: up with that though, don't. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

108
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: We love him. He promotes everything we do and it

109
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: has for many years. Now. I met you back in

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: the early nineties here at New York, that's right, and

111
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: c CAUs New Jersey. He used to videotape us and

112
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, we had cake fights and we had a

113
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: lot of fun whatever. Oh now we did back then,

114
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, the funny thing. And I shouldn't say that

115
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: he got mad at me, and I love this man,

116
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: I get at but he got he got mad at

117
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: me because because if he didn't want that cake fight

118
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: thing on the internet. And yet we look back now

119
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: it is one of the best funniest bits ever done

120
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: on radio. Again hysterical, I mean it really was. You

121
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: must admit, Okay, come on in someone's face, no doubt

122
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: of that. Maybe Steve saw your video and said I'm

123
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: stealing that exactly. That was a lot of fun and

124
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I and I did a in fact, I did a

125
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: video retrospective which you're heavily featured in of ten years,

126
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: the first ten years of one. Wait a minute, hold on,

127
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: let's back up. You go around the country and you

128
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: videotape all these personalities providing content over radio stations and

129
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: online whatever, and then you sell it. But but you're saying,

130
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: but you don't make money off nobody pays me. But

131
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: how do you make a living by the grace of God? Really? Well, no, no, no.

132
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: I had a company for thirty three years that published

133
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: radio guides so people could find out their favorite radio

134
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: stations when they travel on road trips. And I put

135
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: out over a hundred million of those little radio guides

136
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: in conjunction with radio stations all over the country. So

137
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: that's how you made your millions. A very small house

138
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: in in suburban Detroit. Okay, so Art, let's talk about

139
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: how radio has turned into what it is today. It

140
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: really isn't. I don't even call it. I don't want

141
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: to call it radio an even it isn't, you know.

142
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: And it's just that it's like even I, who love

143
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: radio passionately, I go to sleep with my cell phone,

144
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: I wake up to my cell phone. I listened to

145
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: the radio stations on my cell phone Uh. The other day,

146
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: I was driving in New Jersey and I said, this

147
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: is so cool. I'm in New Jersey and I was

148
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: bouncing between four radio stations that are all on I

149
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Heart Radio, and I could just touch the screen and

150
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: switch from Detroit to Miami to New York. It was

151
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: great cool. So, you know, a lot of purists who

152
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: are from the era of art Follows Days, you know,

153
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: when he first started and when I first started. They

154
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: don't like this. They don't like the digital digital age

155
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: that we're living in. And I hate to say digital

156
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: age because even that sounds old. But I find it

157
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: more exciting than ever. The opportunities like this podcast for instantly. Yeah,

158
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: podcasts are huge. I did one with a guy named

159
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Matt Kundall up in Canada and it was an hour

160
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: in seven minutes. It was the second longest one he

161
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: ever did ever, and he said it's trending higher than

162
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: any that he has, that it's way ahead of everybody else.

163
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: We are you shaking your head? Well, you know, we

164
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: do the Brooklyn Boys podcast and when we first started

165
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: doing the podcast, people were saying, keep it to fifteen

166
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Nobody can listen for longer than that's why

167
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: this is a fifteen minute morning. Well, we started just

168
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: talking and doing an hour and fifteen minutes, hour and

169
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: twenty and people said longer, we want more. They want

170
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: to sit in a car, they want to let it

171
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: spend the day with them, and we can't do one

172
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: long enough for people. And they wanted to pick up

173
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: where they leave off. Right, it's crazy through the week,

174
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: it's insane. They listen in minute block. I did I

175
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: did want in Detroit and I talked at FM talk

176
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: station in Detroit, and I was supposed to go an hour.

177
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: It was a five hour show. We had so many calls,

178
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: we had so much interest. We went the full five

179
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: hours and it went by like five minutes. So let

180
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: me ask you this, why do you think, uh, what

181
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: seems to be an art form that has lost an

182
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: art form right and has has has now been revised

183
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: to something new. Why are people so still into it,

184
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: even people who weren't around during the golden days of

185
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: what they say radio was. Why do you think it's

186
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: so interesting? Why radio is so interesting? Yeah, and it's

187
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: a very personal meeting. It's very very intimate. I mean,

188
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: you wake up to some people take them in the

189
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: shower with them into the bathroom. I had three radios

190
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: in my bathroom. You know how many radios you need

191
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: three radios in your bathot because one right next to

192
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: the john that can one overall sink and big bathroom

193
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: shower radio. Well, no, it's not that big. I have

194
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: five radio surrounding my bed. You won't get your shot

195
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: how many radios are in my house and it's only

196
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: a fifteen hundred square foot I have no idea how

197
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: many radios you just need one, and I go into

198
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: most people's house, I have to search for That's why

199
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: everybody in the radio business now was excited about Alexa

200
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: because they think I shouldn't even say that because somebody

201
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: might be listening, might be answering them right now. But

202
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: they think this is what's going to bring radio back

203
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: into the home. And I hope it does, because there

204
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: was a time when radio was very popular with the home.

205
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: You had a radio in every room. It's a very

206
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: good point you just made about how you know, uh,

207
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: Amazon Echo in the Google Home whatever it is, they

208
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: are truly bringing back that speaker that plays radio, and

209
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: we didn't even know it. They snuck it back in there.

210
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. And I think that's really very very cool.

211
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: And and and you're doing a darn good job. I mean,

212
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, I never I never imagined that you were

213
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: going to have the car. Not not that you weren't good,

214
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: but it's just that it's it's sort of like another

215
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: friend of ours, Jim Kerr, Jim Kerr, who's at another

216
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: station in New York here. I mean, I knew Jim

217
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: when he was fourteen years old, Okay, I gave him

218
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: a couch to sleep bar and when he had no

219
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: place to go, I picked him up in the middle

220
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: of the night when his dad threw him out of

221
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: my house. I mean, let me tell you. I mean,

222
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: it's it's it's like and now I look at him

223
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: and he's the longest running now that I misses off

224
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: the radio, he's the longest running New York radio personality,

225
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: the nicest person in the world. And I and I

226
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: just think, God, I remember when he actually used the

227
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: name Jim Curtis on the area. Didn't think he uses

228
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know that named Jim Kerr. But I have pictures.

229
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I will send you a picture of him with a

230
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: little blond hair. And it's so funny how radio is

231
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: one of those things that it lingers everything. It just

232
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: things like like a bad far But there's so many

233
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: there are so many things that were huge and prevalent

234
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: in the entertainment business back in the day that really

235
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: aren't the same anymore. This is we're kind of holding on.

236
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: And a lot of people who are running digital industries

237
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: these days say, well, radios, it's a thing of the past.

238
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: It's a dinosaur. Well call it that if you want,

239
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: but we are we are now digital. We have snuck

240
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: an old form form of communication into a new package

241
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: of delivery and and it's it's all digital. And I

242
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: think a lot of people do want to see what's

243
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: going on in the studios and whatever they want to see.

244
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: That's why my video air checks the things are so popular.

245
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: And in fact, if you go on the internet and

246
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: let me do a shameless plug here because I was

247
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: first of all, I was very honored a couple of

248
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: years ago, and you were inducted. And that was the

249
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: same night that they announced that all the videos I've

250
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: shot over all the years are going to go into

251
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: a special exhibit that's gonna be a permanent exhibit in

252
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: the Radio Hall of Fame. At the Museum of Broadcast

253
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: Communications in Chicago where people can go in and they

254
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: can like in the old language lab and in the

255
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: in the high school, and you put headphones on and

256
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: you have a screen in front of and a keyboard

257
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: and you can just punch up Elvis Duran you want

258
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: to see him in the early days and what have you,

259
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: and it'll come right up on the screen. So that's

260
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. And I was very, very flattered

261
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: by that, and and and I think that, um, the

262
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: thing it makes it so special is is that, uh,

263
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: people can now see how it's evolved over the years.

264
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: They can see when people were playing records on turntables

265
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: and then they had all the records were on put

266
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: on tape cartridge that looked like the eight track tapes,

267
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: and that's how they played the songs on the air.

268
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: And then they went to the c D s and

269
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: now everything's in an audio vault on the computer and

270
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: you touch screens. And when I think, it's amazing to

271
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: watch the evolution over the almost forty years that I've

272
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: been videotaping in radio studios from one of the country

273
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: or the other. And that's why you know tomorrow night

274
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: on Friday the Woods. Tomorrow is the ninth I guess

275
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: it is of or the eighth of June. They're giving

276
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: me a special award, UH, a lifetime Achievement award, which

277
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: I was shocked when I heard about this because of

278
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: what I've been doing for the industry, doing what I love.

279
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about don't get paid to do this. Let's

280
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: talk about one more thing that's advancing in this business,

281
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: and that's women in radio. Women in radio. Daniel used

282
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: to be just the gig that we were. They were

283
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: forced to be just the giggly thing in the corner

284
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: who just agree with everything that's right. And now, believe me, Daniel,

285
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: when Daniel speaks, she takes over this from this is

286
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: he this is her run. I'm not going to giggle.

287
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: I do giggle a lot, and I'll tell you like

288
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: it is. In fact, one of my very the very first,

289
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: one of the very first radio stations I every day

290
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,400

291
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: great radio station, you know, and they said, uh, they

00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: had an afternoon drive, afternoon drive host that was female.

293
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: And that was unusual back very this is n nobody

294
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: was doing stuff like that. You know. So it was

295
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: really great and now women are all over the place.

296
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,920
