Why words on the radio and podcasts stimulates more than the time you have ever been able to
It is a strange thing, how we build communication. Appropriate, deep-time communication, human connections. The kind that felt like friendships, although someone else doesn’t know that we are. The type, when news break through the past, they leave suddenly – it is like it part of our personal history is closed.
It’s exactly how I felt when I heard that the FE1 group Eddie Jordan died this morning. I have never met someone, I have never stopped in a pit and shakes his hand, but last year, but with him in my ears.
His podcast and David Coulthard, a formula of success, was part of my process. Such different MITINGs of Ireland, playing jabs, small black ideas – was a major order in my Sunday as my Yorkshire tea morning. And now he is gone.
But it is just a few people a public symbol; Expressing a person themselves. And what thought – Why there are words, especially those on the radio and podcasts, feel very, very loud, more attractive, than anything we watch on the screen?
Growth, the largest influence on my musical music was not an old girl as I didn’t have one, cool cousin, just try to remove the team team, or a lot of a continuous teacher, sorry Mr. Powell. It was Robert Elms. Her exhibition in GLR (or BBC London, or whatever the sequence of the channel was at any time) sound my GCSE ‘and a friend since. Robert is the reason I am jazz arrested, the reason I belonged to Ronnie Scott’s, the reason I first heard Amy Winehouse – a long time before Frank holding a record. He had met his father in Sauna, as he did, and He invited him to the show. One listen and I was arrested.
And before this? Before I was afraid of ‘reviving’ by radio? There I was, 11 years old, I broke down the radio under the cover in my grandmother’s house, listening to Steve Allen on LBC. At that time, it was less political and just a big … softening. The common voice in the dark, in thoughts, awakening Curiosity, and it makes me feel part of me.
Compare that on television. I look so much. So much, maybe. But if one of my favorite TV or characters will pass over, and there are so many testing, I will not feel the same. I might feel sad, I might think about their best and dip down the YouTube rabbit hole in their tonight work, but I don’t feel like I know. Something comes from something with TV. Even the most commonly written characters, which are presented in the most intelligent, is always a scarf.
But the sound? The sound is different. It is straight. It passes all visible sound and talks right in the brain. It is in your ear, to show your thinking, how you feel. And because they lack obvious obscurity, forcing you to listen to you.
And it’s not just me. Think about the power of radio during difficult times. Consider the distribution of the Churchill period, the way people stuck in all the words, not a national address. Consider the shipping climate – still listening to religion by thousands of thousands who have never set foot on a boat, or know which is a German or German Bight. There is love on the radio, guidance in podcasts, the type of intimacy based on the images based on the screen will not only feed.
Maybe it’s because the Word in your ear feels like one, while TV and the film always works. Maybe it’s because we use sound from time to travel – walking, lying on the bed-while TV is commonly shared, shared experiences. Or maybe because when you listen to someone sufficient time, year after year, year after year, their voice becomes a night in your life, as it is known and comforting as a friend.
That is why Eddie Jordan passing on a hard hit than before. That is why I lose radio dust or podcaster often feel like a spouse’s loss. It is because I will always come into Robert Elms as long as they are in the air, and why I will always be appreciated a radio with the old radio, take the world through the solitude.
Because the noise is not just a background. It is in contact. Friendship. And in the world where screens are ruling, it is a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful issues are not just seen – just sound.
