19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Said this earlier when I first started in radio, so

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: I used to work on a building site and all

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: I ever dreamed of was working on the radio. And

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: then when I started in radio, I remember the bank

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: manager I get a loan for a car. He said,

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: what do you do and I said, I'm work in radio.

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: And he said, well, you're not a good loan proposition.

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: I said, why is it? Well, radio it's not going

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: to be around for long.

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Why do you think that?

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: Because back then, back then, the CD player was coming out. Well,

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: there's a thing called a CD player. And this is

31
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: what radio has beaten. Radio beat the CD player, the

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: CD stacker, Remember the CD stacker? Game out? Or you

00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: put your blood pumped in the back of your Mercedes

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: they went. Then the iPod came around. Then podcasting now

35
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: that's the latest thing. But the thing about radio is

36
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,040
