Really enjoyed this, cheers. Hunt seems to think mp3 players must inevitably displace radios but it's impossible to overstate the way that live radio can bring a sense of connection to a world bigger than yourself. I've used it

First time I heard of it was in the context of dogecoin which I assumed was something inspired by the Venetian Republic.
