INSIGHT

Radio Station As A Musical Instrument

  • Steve Junker compares a radio station to a pipe organ with many unused stops, urging exploration of its full range.
  • He argues public radio often repeats the same few “keys” and should experiment to discover new capabilities.
ANECDOTE

Cold-Weather Idea Led To Falmouth Pairing

  • During COVID winter, Steve wanted to make an international program that still felt local to Cape Cod listeners.
  • He emailed stations in English towns with the same names and eventually connected with Source FM in Falmouth, England.
ADVICE

Connect Peers Instead Of Co-Reporting

  • Find common local issues first and use them as the basis for cross-border conversations.
  • Connect two people with shared roles on those topics and record their conversation rather than co-reporting complex joint stories.
