As audiences for podcasts grow larger and the technology to access the internet becomes more accessible how will traditional media adapt?

Radio has always been a lifeline for people in peril. During the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, the only way the public could get access to life saving information was by turning on the radio. And not the big fat cat radio stations, but the low wattage local radio stations.

Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio. Radio killed the video star. Turn up, the radio. If you write a song about the radio chances are it will be played by some indulgent disc jockey. Especially if you say how hot the DJ is or that last night they saved your life.

Where is the “ode to the podcast” song? You hear me? If you really want your music played all over the net, write a song about how hot podcasters are.

On today’s show two hot local DJ’s from our weekly community GLBT radio program “Think Pink Radio” Erik Roldan and Ruth Batacan join us to talk about the future of community based radio and how they decide what type of music to play on the air. You can follow them along on Thursdays from 6-8pm at WLUW’s website.

What makes queer music queer? If a hetero artist is really popular with the gays, do they play the music anyways?

Things aren’t so pink for Think Pink Radio. They might lose their weekly slot at WLUW when Loyola University, who owns the radio station plans to take over management and perhaps reintegrate the programming into it’s curriculum.

How long will Think Pink last when the Jesuit school takes over?

Eric’s working on a music blog you can follow here.

Calpernia Addams hit single “Stunning” is becoming such a hit, with a little help from us, that even Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is taken by it.

After Tuesdays comeback in the PP, the Presidential Primaries, Hillary’s campaign sent a mass email describing her comeback as “STUNNING.”

Coincidence, who knows, but Calpernia herself doesn’t mind. We wrote to Cali and her response was “[Hillary] can use it if she wants. She’s pretty stunning, in that ‘iron-willed old bitch I think is cool’ kinda way.”

As Joan Crawford said- “Fellas, this isn’t my first time at the rodeo.”

A combo platter of crazy and fabulous- Feast of Fools.
