WeMakeWAMU is a union AMEN to this! Audio engineers are the often-unsung heroes of broadcasting. (I'm married to one!)

.Andi McDaniel didn't mince words regarding how short-sighted public radio station's decision-making can be, “Digital media, and innovation, SHOULD be subsidized by legacy platforms…. It’s a necessary, if costly, hedge against inevitable changes in how audiences consume media.”
