Always found it interesting that the two groups who seemed to most like Bill Cooper where anti-government white nationalist types AND African-American hip hop artists like Wu Tang and Nas. He had beliefs that appealed to every type of conspiracy minded group.

When Mike Graham Tried to Grow Concrete, the Internet Did the Rest
TalkRadio host Mike Graham (left) interviews Insulate Britain spokesperson Cameron Ford (right) in a now-viral exchange about sustainability.Dear Cherubs, a radio interview about home insulation somehow turned into a live demonstration of how fast a debate can fall through the floorboards. Cameron Ford, an Insulate Britain spokesperson and carpenter, went on talkRADIO to talk about the campaign’s push to insulate homes, and Mike Graham seemed determined to turn the whole thing into a quiz night for facts that had already packed their bags.
THE SETUP
Ford made a very ordinary point: timber is renewable because trees can be regrown, while concrete is a manufactured material with a heavy carbon footprint. The Independent reported that Graham pushed back, asked whether cutting trees could ever be sustainable, and then reached the now-legendary answer that you can grow concrete — which is a sentence so wrong it deserves a parking ticket.
The clip then went quiet for several seconds, Ford stayed on air, and Graham ended the interview with a breezy “See you Cameron, cheerio.” At that point the silence was not awkward so much as structural. According to the Guardian, this was happening against the backdrop of a wider Insulate Britain campaign, and the group said 146 members had been arrested 690 times by that point.
THE COMEBACK
Graham later tried to save the situation on Jeremy Kyle’s show, reportedly saying concrete “expands” as it sets. The Independent said he doubled down, which is a polite way of saying he kept digging after the shovel had already left the chat.
To be fair, the science lane is more interesting than the punchline. Ingenia and the University of Bath have both reported on self-healing concrete research, including bacteria that can help produce limestone and seal cracks, while Science Focus has covered experimental “living concrete” using sand, gel and bacteria. That is a real field of research; it is just not a magical tree-to-concrete pipeline, and it is certainly not the same thing as saying a bag of cement photosynthesises in the dark.
So the viral magic here was not really about construction materials at all. It was about tone, timing, and one very public refusal to let a carpenter finish a thought. For the genre of public-argument trainwreck, thisclaimer.com is a decent tab to keep open; for everyone else, the clip remains a tidy reminder that confidence and correctness are not the same material, even if someone on live radio really wishes they were.

Tuko: Why Influencers and Bloggers Have Replaced Vernacular Radio in Kenya’s Political Tensions. “Most of them are influencers, bloggers and anonymous social media accounts amplifying unverified narratives to millions of followers at the tap of a screen. They have inherited the dangerous mantle once worn by influential vernacular radio and the reach they wield is exponentially wide and more […]

One of the great things about UK radio is daily 'talk radio' or 'phone ins' or whatever you want to call that genre of show; where Joe Public can get to call up a live broadcast radio and have their wild opinions aired out to the nation.
I don't think such a thing exists here in Norway. Please, Norwegians, correct me if I am wrong.

I grew up in a weird media environment that has led to my high level of wackiness. One example of that environment is having listened to Ex LAPD Chief Bill Gates interview neonazi Tom Metzger live back in '92 when I was in JHS or HS. I'm sure I heard this live and zoned out or gave up. Gates' show was so boring. He was not good at radio. But those traffic bumpers! 懐かしい！

#Americans now listen to #podcasts more often than #AM/#FM #talkradio, study shows
The researchers have tracked these statistics over the last decade, and almost always, the percentage of time people spent listening to podcasts increased, while their time with spoken radio broadcasts decreased. For the first time this year, podcasts eclipsed spoken-word radio with 40% of listening time, as opposed to 39% for #radio.

News Summary: Americans Listen to Podcasts More Than Talk Radio; Mass Market Paperback Phased Out
Audio has been the mainstay of the news of late, so of the two stories to round out the week, I'll start with the ear-related one. As the headline of this article in TechCrunch so informatively puts it, Americans now listen to podcasts more often than talk radio.

You don't have to be in #Canada (or even have a #shortwave radio, though SW is fun) to listen to #Canadian #radio. You can listen to #CFRB/#CFRX and many other stations online:

Picking up #CFRX/#CRFB from #Canada on 6070khz #shortwave again this morning while sitting in EN72 (Southwest #Michigan)
Have the bandwidth set to 1khz to pick out the words better, but the signal is there :)

I love listening to talk radio. It's like taking all the people with wild opinions on X/Twitter, but they are bold enough announce it on national radio to a much larger audience.
I just heard someone call into a show and tell everyone that vegans are making meat production worse because their lack of support for meat consumption means meat producers don't need to care about the quality.
