Everyone is a Broadcast Channel

Every­one is a Broad­cast Chan­nel As a boy raised in South­west­ern, Ohio, I grew up very close to two 20th cen­tury mar­vels of mass com­mu­ni­ca­tion — Voice of Amer­ica and the WLW radio tower. Voice of Amer­ica was designed to broad­cast west­ern demo­c­ra­tic news around the cold war world. The WLW tower had the ability […]
