Is the golden age of radio here again?

It’s no exaggeration to say that on-demand radio could be the internet ’97 (when the web went mainstream) all over again – and will definitely make the current hype about blogging look overblown. People in the technology industry get sold the idea of ‘paradigm shifts’ about as much as they get offered cups of coffee so it’s easy to be cynical but on-demand radio looks like a damn good candidate for cultural and consumer change, and industry disruption.
