Is radio dead now? Aren't podcasts dead now too? Isn't it all youtube vids now? What is even happening?
You kids get off my..um...media...
Nah, everyone is doing podcasts. There's just no good way to find the good ones. There are a few podcast cooperative like Relay and Max Fun that have several good ones.
I would say it's actually pretty easy to find a handful of good ones. Go to the top downloaded podcasts and you'll get Stuff You Should Know, Behind The Bastards, a couple of Max Fun podcasts etc. its when you want a podcast on your specific hobby or niche interest where it falls off a cliff.
The medium is the mess
I thought it was Internet who killed the video star
This doesn't show Video being killed, so it's still possible.
Artist credit cropped out?
Found it with this bad crop, but I've just added the artist credit to the post body.
The hero we need.
I can't make out the artist signature, is this from Shen?
I think it is. Looks like it says "Shen Comix", but it's badly cropped.
Welp, at least now I won’t get that song stuck in my head for the next week…
This was true for a brief period but the podcast bubble popped a decade ago
The artist's name is cropped out so I can't even go see when it was made...hopefully not recently
maybe replace podcasts with AI next year
Is this about true crime podcasts digging up old stories of murders for clicks, or is this saying that podcasters are the new radio stars, capable of becoming famous just from people listening to their voice?
The second one. Also the first panel is a reference to the song 'video killed the radio star' which was a commentary that musicians suddenly needed to be attractive to make it big.
I got that part, I could just see the punch line going two different ways
Radio Star is already dead and buried, but Video's knife is still wet with blood? Who else did Video kill?
It was the 80s, so I'm going to guess it was homeless people.
Maybe it's still Radio Star's blood and they just did the funeral and burial very quickly
Books and newspapers and attention spans
Books seem just fine? Also, attention span was just fine until the last 10 years or so with certain apps in phones, no?
have to work in some lyrics about throwing the VCR in the emptied grave.
Or maybe pirates reclaim the VCR because streaming services turned into the Cable monster?
podcasts are digging up radio stars
It’s already happened. So…
Podcasts dug up the radio star.
Podcasts dug up the radio star.
Frankenstein’d it and gave it a heart!
Oh-a-a-a-oh
Thank you for explaining what is literally on the panels
But I did it in rhythm 😉
No
