I supported the LPFM that went through Congress in the late 90′s. I wasn’t aware of the Local Community Radio Act that you guys brought up on your show. Definitely going to check that out.
And I use Google for e-mail, RSS subscriptions, picture hosting and shopping. They definitely own me.
And you wanna know something funny? I listened to this episode of OTL where you talked about the book by the dude from Styx, and the next podcast on my playlist was the episode of Cara’s Basement where she interviewed one of the other dudes from Styx. Synergy through coincidental randomness. It’s what the Internet’s all about.
