Before there was terrestrial radio where program directors picked (or were bribed) to play big artists over and over and over and, uh… over again. Now we have internet PodCasters who have the freedom to play whatever they want to a targeted audience.
But, it’s still not quite there yet.
The PodCasters have taken it to the extreme to play a completely different set list every show. So, the song I heard and loved on their last show I have no clue what the hell it was because they’ll never play the song again.
There is joy in repetition.
There needs to be a balance between playing the some songs every other hour to playing them only once a millennia. I think a good starting point would be to play the song on every show for about a month, them retire it for a while. That gives me the chance to become emotionally attached to the song without getting sick of the thing.
