A host of "The Not Ready For Prime Time Project" podcast struck a nerve with me this morning--but I can't refute his point. While discussing a "Saturday Night Live" sketch in which Harry Shearer played the announcer at a radio station whose entire format was just telling listeners the current time, the podcaster remarked, "Remember when radio was a thing?"
I wanted to respond, "Radio is just as relevant today," even though I know that's not entirely true. I still think the sketch's premise of an all-time radio station is clever, but I agree with the podcasters that it wouldn't play as well today.
Still, the sketch aired originally in 1980, which was just--um, actually, quite a while ago.
