- Advertisement -If you ever needed proof that the Walt Disney Company of 2025 isn’t the one that Walt envisioned when he started drawing a little cartoon mouse, look no further than Pat McAfee. Forget fitting the family friendly image the company cultivated for decades. The guy lives for conflict and is downright adversarial to anyone he perceives as not being on his side. Maybe it plays for his audience of 20 and 30 somethings, but at 43, I kind of find it exhausting.

- Advertisement -Is a radio signal as valuable as your largest social media platforms in 2025? I mean, sure, finding your frequency on the dial requires a listener to know way less about you than finding your videos on YouTube or TikTok. Maybe the respective algorithms will feed them to that audience eventually, but it is going to take a lot of training and previous actions to teach the algorithm that they like the kind of topics you cover.

- Advertisement -Everything on ESPN is the WWE now, and that sucks. It’s not that I dislike professional wrestling. It’s been years since I have watched. Like, the last time I could honestly call myself a wrestling fan there was no AEW, TNA, or NXT. Hell, I’m pretty sure we were still calling it the WWF. I recognize a compelling product and story when I see it though. Why does professional wrestling work? Maybe you think it’s in the writing.

- Advertisement -It wasn’t that long ago that sportsbooks were making everyone in the sports media rich. Every talent on local stations where gambling was legal had talent doing live reads for one company or another. Some even had so many books looking to advertise that they were securing endorsement deals for producers or in a few cases, launching brand new shows. On television, every network was hiring a gambling expert.

- Advertisement -Last week, I wrote about why people believe that radio is dying. Whether it’s true or not is irrelevant. I want to talk about a reply I received from a small market morning show who insisted that radio is dead and that we are all now in “the content business.”I loathe that term. “The content business” – who the hell really talks like that? “The content business” is corporate-approved language for “just don’t say radio.” Now, I don’t blame these guys.

As a golf agnostic and #TheMasters ignorer, the only thing I am looking forward to this week is @ChrisVernonShow's updates.

Trump: "One thing I learned about the coal miners -- that's what they want to do. You could give them a penthouse on 5th Avenue and a different kind of a job and they'd be unhappy. They want to mine coal. She was gonna put them in a high tech industry where you make little cell https://t.co/whdR6QSnBz
