Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Triad Radio

March 31, 1969. It was a Monday and I’m pretty sure that I wasn’t listening to the first broadcast, but I’m pretty sure that, being 10 years old and already an adventurous radio listener during that time, I probably found it very soon in the weeks afterwards. It pretty much changed my life – both in general musical interests, but also in getting me supremely interested in freeform radio broadcasting which I did on-air for thirteen years. Later, I picked it up again: “narrowcasting” from a desktop setup as well as a regular weekly show that still runs on Wednesday nights.

Exhilarant Arendt

“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. … Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
