So, listening to the DS106 radio…I don’t know what I think about it hahaha. The music is definitely Christian based and I’m not a religious person, so it’s not really my cup of tea. It wasn’t hard to listen to though. The music had good messages and was mostly upbeat and happy, so that was nice. The …

The radio bumper I created was after I listened to the station for a few hours. I couldn’t really get a theme, but I was vague in my welcome. Also, is this a Christian station? The radio show is cool, and the guy doing it seems pretty nice. It’s very random, and I really wonder if …

In the video, how radio creates empathy Jab talks about how a radio host puts images into a listeners heads. Those random sounds that pop up …
