At the end of 2018 all indicators are that radio is thriving. From community radio to podcasting, internet radio to college radio, we’re seeing new stations, new listeners and new ideas. It’s all more evidence that we’re in the post-‘radio is dead’ era. All four Radio Survivors join together to dig deeply into the year that was: Jennifer Waits, Matthew Lasar, Eric Klein and Paul Riismandel.

They survey the renewed interest in exploring radio history and fresh efforts to preserve radio archives, and assess Radio Survivor’s progress in the last 12 months. Plus, we have some positive news about the Free Music Archive.

Stay tuned next week for a look back at the FCC’s 2018 with Prof. Christopher Terry, from the University of Minnesota.
