The live 'social medium' before FaceBook and podcasts, that may be the final nails in Radio's coffin. Much has been written about the national celebrities and networks, but what about where they originated - from local stations Local radio is where actor John Lithgow, Dick Cavett, Dolly Parton, and 'Buffalo Bob' Smith got their start. American Radio Then & Now is by an award-winning documentary filmmaker. About his and many others' experiences as '250 Watt' broadcasters - one-to-many - both on-mic and un-credited behind the scenes - during The Golden Age of Radio. Pioneers in what was once the world's newest, hottest medium. That once was a federally-protected bastion of 'localism.' And now, about Radio's condition & prospects.
