KOGO‘ Cliff Albert writes about last weekend’s radio event in San Diego: “Writer, humorist and radio guy Garrison Keillor was in San Diego over the weekend.
Keillor did his weekly public radio program called the Prairie Home Companion from the Civic Theater downtown.
It was a packed house I’m told and very well received. Being in the radio business, I wish I had been there.
You see, Keillor does his radio show of stories, music, live sound effects and acting all out in the open…on a live stage…for all to see….with the audience able to watch everything that goes into doing a radio show…mistakes and all.
Listening to the radio of course, you don’t get to see all that. You don’t see us and we don’t see you.
Despite that…even with the competition for your time from TV and the Internet, radio remains as popular as ever…as a way to connect people. Especially of course talk radio…which gets both praise and criticism.
But that’s okay. Because those of us in radio know what Garrison Keillor knows.
Radio is authentic. Unlike the glamor of TV and the anonymous nature of the Internet, radio has real people, just they way they are.”
