Listening to talk radio is a challenge. Where are the production values? I often hear 6 or 7 or 8 voice only spots in a row. Who wants to hear that? No background beds. No jingles. No SFX. Just blah blah blah with repeated 800 phone numbers. Where are the consultants? Are they as boring as the lazy non production between the talk segments?And broadcasters are wondering why listeners are abandoning the format. Could it be that the stop sets are as boring as the drivel coming out of the talkshow hosts mouths?
Few stations get this right. KFI is excellent regarding production values. They get the numbers too.
All talk radio should BE PRODUCED with plenty of bells and whistles. That is the recipe for good radio. NPR gets it. They always break it up with produced elements.
While I'm at it, the PUKE PROMO VOICES need to be rested too.
My rant is over. Have a nice day.
