Cross Talk: Season Four, Episode Ten

"On local Radio in the time of covid-19".  From March 17, 2020.  In the midst of a pandemic of the covid-19 corona virus, most of what makes up "normal" activity for hundreds of millions of people is disrupted.  Sports, late-night tv talk, restaurants, bars and theatres are closed. People still need routine.  Radio can be a big part of that.  While every news outlet in every form of media works extra-hard under difficult circumstances, Radio can continue to adapt and do even more. Some thoughts from my career in crisis-coverage in radio.  While radio keeps up its daily routine, providing news, information, entertainment, comfort, and companionship...it should bring in more.  Stephen Colbert and other late-night tv hosts should move to radio. 

This is the first episode produced entirely at home; different software, and a few issues to work out.  Just like radio.
