I have to say, from the little time I've been on the iaib board, I've already noticed a huge difference from this community, and the community of traditional radio people posting on the all access board.

To sum it up, most everyone there is negative and sour about the industry which is completely understandable with the constant downsizing, but nobody is doing anything to be proactive about changing the game. They complain about crap wages, voice tracking, and awful PD's, yet the second they see a job opening for some Afternoon Drive in Tulsa, they're begging like dogs for the chance to continue to be unhappy.

Now take the world of internet broadcasting. Everyone that I've had interactions with have been really positive about it even though there's little money in it yet. We're taking the initiative to make radio fun again, even though it's an uphill battle to convince people that it's just as legitimate as terrestrial.

That being said. There's been an opening for a morning show co-host position at the radio cluster I work at. It's a pretty sweet gig too and I'd have a pretty decent chance getting the job if I really wanted it.

But I don't. I don't want to be a part of the problem. I don't want to sell myself out and be able to talk but not really speak my mind.

I realized that my unpaid podcasting venture is my baby and my first priority.

That's the kind of person I am, and I think a lot of you are too. That's why internet radio will win. It'll be a battle, no doubt, but we'll win it.
