This week’s Beachwood Radio Hour is already up, complete with Show Notes. I have a vision (again), people: That the future of true multimedia involves reading, listening and watching at the same time. With our BRH Show Notes, you can do just that!
It doesn’t always have to be so integrated; it could simply mean that – if you turn on the tool to do so – when you scroll over a quote you actually hear the person saying it, for just one example. Or see the person saying it.
Or when you listen to sports radio online, you can actually see video of the highlights they are talking about as they talk about them. That sort of thing.
There could be music corollaries, too. Even weather and traffic. Think it through.
And of course, with serious and investigative news, a more sophisticated package.
If history is any guide, I’ll get nowhere with this idea and wind up broke in senior public housing, only to find douchebags getting rich off a crappy version of it five to 10 years from now.
This week’s segments include:
* Clemente’s Awesome Archers.
* Rahm’s Falling Fortunes with Rahm writer Kari Lydersen.
* I Am A Tour Guide with J.J. Tindall. (And he really is.)
* Why The Chicago Sky with Jim “Coach” Coffman.
* The White Sox’s Changing Of The Guard with Roger Wallenstein.
* A Preakness Preview with Tom Chambers.
And music by Sister Speak and Rodriguez.
