“Globalization and the deconstruction of community and country, an addictive media system that runs on algorithms we don’t understand and can’t escape, the unpredictability of climate change, Gilded Age-level inequality, and the worry that generative AI will control rather than be controlled by us.”
Those facts-of-life come from Ezekiel J. Emanuel MD, who reckons make us “feel vulnerable, anxious, and powerless – at the mercy of forces beyond our reach. So, we embrace what we can control: our own wellness.”
Emanuel is a University of Pennsylvania professor, bioethicist, and oncologist, and was one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act. His best-selling book, Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life, is HIGHLY recommended. Much of what you read will be as surprising as the title.

If you own or manage a radio station, reread his quote above. See the opportunity.
In a world where people feel unmoored, a local radio station that reliably shows up with clarity and calm — that helps people feel a little less powerless — becomes more than a medium. It becomes the one they won’t live without.
