Episode 43: The One Where The Robots Take Over

Send us a text

Hey Xer's it's the latest and dare I say, most robotic, episode of XRadioX we've ever produced!  Maybe the episode with the fake, robotic baby is a bit more robotic than this one.  Maybe not?

Anyway...

It's episode 43 and Matt and I tackle the question of Robots and Radio.  Ever since you could automate a cart deck to go to the next cart deck with a tone, radio station owners have been trying to strike that balance of automation, scheduling efficiencies and the eternal question of...  Do I really need these pesky "personalities" to make this station LIVE and LOCAL.   Spoiler Alert...  You do, no matter what your reps tell you.

Matt and I do a little talking about AI (Chatty) and how well the algorithm is not only programming your video feeds on YouTube but it's also influencing your music choices.  Think about it...  If you were into alternative college rock in the 90's, how different is your music feed now versus then?  You know it all sounds like late 90's Foo Fighters with a mix of Seven Mary Three, for you know...  Variety.  You can thank your previous music tastes and Spotty for making every song you like to listen to a variation of Monkey Wrench, Hey Man, Nice Shot and Cumbersome...  You know, for variety.

Basically whether you like it our not the robots are taking over.

We also play a game where I totally kick Chatty's robot ass.  Go on and listen.  You won't be upset.
