Today on Looking Forward, we’re again going to focus on a communications medium that exists just about everywhere around the world: RADIO!!
In Part 1 of this two-part series, Episode #77, we looked at how radio has changed over the years, explored how people in different parts of the world listen to their radios, and examined how COVID-19 has affected radio production and listening habits.
Here in Part 2, Episode #78, we’re going to learn about such things as podcasting and the Internet’s impact on the radio industry, how radio in the United States differs from radio elsewhere, and where radio’s future lies. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll want to hear about where our guest expert sees OPPORTUNITIES in the radio industry over the next several years.
And who is our guest expert? Well, if you’ve already listened to Episode #77, you’ll definitely recognize the voice and British accent of James Cridland.
