Each year on August 20th, National Radio Day celebrates the great invention of the radio.

I am old school in listening to the FM and AM bands on my truck’s radio. I believe in local radio where you are connected with community, its events, information that impacts you and of course music. The radio does give you something to listen to as you are doing your days activities. It is also good for your soul too. Much of the music I knew about as a kid came through the radio because we didn’t have MTV for most of my life and there was no YouTube in my youth.

Radio is also theatre of the mind and it allows you to use your imagination in very powerful ways. It almost resembles a book like that.

I listen to National Public Radio via WUTC 88.1 FM so I can remain informed and entertained about what is happening here in Chattanooga.
