11) Research

The following post has a pop score of 76 with a potential score of 102

Radio People LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, research, despite never taking a Statistics class.  Research determines what clothes they wear, cars they buy, restaurants, and, oh yes, the songs they play.  Yup, if you thought either of the following things were true, you [...]

10) Satellite Radio

Radio People love the idea of Satellite radio because of all the times they have wanted to say, “fuck” on the radio.  It is a deep desire for every Radio Person to say “fuck” on the radio.  Because that is a peak in Radio that few people other than Howard Stern get to climb.  The [...]

Radio People love to hear themselves talk, obviously. But one of the main reasons they do what they do is so that they can express their opinions as either fact (scientific or otherwise) or law (whatever law would govern the undereducated speaking to hundreds of thousand of sheep at the same time.)

#9 Irony

 
Nobody enjoys a healthy dose of government officials getting what is coming to them, especially when they had caused Radio People and their Record Friends such pain an agony.  Just ask Dave Universal.  Before Eliot Spitzer he went to home Yankees game, before Eliot Spitzer he went to EVERY home Yankees game for music meetings.  [...]

There are very few things that get the blood pumping in a radio person than the idea that a star would be coming to their station. Even the very thought of a “star” coming to the area sends them into fits of preparation that rivals some weddings. Radio People will miss client meetings, staff appointments, [...]
