Richard E. Rawson, Psy.D., MBARandom thought. There was an era of FM radio in the 70s—especially evening shows—that really was something different. It wasn’t just background noise. It felt like someone was curating a mood for you in real time. DJs like Brother Dave could introduce you to artists you’d never have found otherwise, just by letting a whole side of an album breathe.

@richardrawson in the UK we’re fortunate enough to have BBC 6music. The daytime programme is heavily playlisted, but weekends and evenings is where it counts. DJs given almost free rein over what they play, no restrictions on track length, almost anything goes, and plenty of talk about and around the music.
Guy Garvey, Iggy Pop, Jarvis Cocker, and Gideon Coe/Marc Riley’s shows are sublime.
