This week's audio lecture contained interviews with Richard Fidler and Steve Austin, both esteemed radio journalists at ABC local radio. Some random but interesting statements I found worthy of note:
"[In radio] the voice comes from inside your head." (Richard Fidler)
"Radio is thriving at the moment... effortlessly blending into new platforms." (Fidler on new technology, social media)
"Don't believe those who say human beings are rational creatures... we are emotional beings." (Steve Austin)
"Up came Dead Poet's Society, and I cried." (Steve Austin on probably the best movie ever)
A big theme of both speakers was the value of the emotional connection that radio achieves.
