in the process of moving to a new state, i’ve subscribed to a local outlet (look up your city or county or region & news outlet, or smthn like that, y’all are internet savvy), and it’s been so refreshing and lovely. simply am on the email list rn but planning to subscribe soon.
i don’t think humans are meant to absorb Global or National News En Masse and it‘s made me go through phases of fire hosed infomation, then fasting. tuning into local stuff (which has some headlines from other outlets i can scan for national news) has been really grounding, interesting, & made me feel less Numb To The World. complacency will get us nowhere, and we can’t take big actions on our own either. seeing how we can live in the grey area of small tangible actions in my small tangible community. also into giving ppl money for providing services instead of selling myself for ads is such a relief in the current landscape

📻Keeps me updated on news/current events but I don’t constantly feel like the world is ending. I think part of that is the local stories on new bus routes or the upcoming 5k that are mixed in with all the national and international stuff, and they’re also good about trying to avoid extreme reporting bias. Public radio is my favorite way to stay informed, stay connected, and stay grounded! :D

📻Last summer while traveling I got a pocket radio so that instead of listening to my same Spotify playlists I could tap in to the pulse of wherever I was visiting. It was such an amazing experience of feeling connected to place and feeling very aware of the people around me. like I am part of this! We are all part of this!!
I could rant forever about why I’m passionate about local radio…but we all know music is an incredible mechanism to connect/communicate with people- and where hits stations loose identity, algorithm driven streaming becomes such an island. Local radio fills an important niche of here. now. us. we. are experiencing this together
