Is the CB Radio Dead?

Was CB Radio just podcasting that was “too early” for it’s time?

I am reminded of one of my favorite movies. A guy [Jack Burton] goes a

round chatting aloud on his CB Radio. He’s a trucker, and he likes to hear himself talk. It’s a bit like I feel each time I record these audio files in my car on the way to/from work.

There was a time, if you owned a CB Radio, you could turn to one of 35 or so channels and here all kinds of “interesting” information. Today CB Radio is dead. Yes there is a varient used by Emergency personnel, and maybe a few truckers, but if you by a CB and hook it up, mostly all you were heear is dead air.

So what has changed? Today, User generated content respresents the internet and the Web. It’s all about everyone shouting about everything in hopes of getting his/her 15 minutes of fame. Now, I don’t yet have a lot of listeners [please subscribe], but you don’t really need a lot of listeners, you just need to like to talk, after a wihle it even becomes a sort of personal “therapist”. Who knows who is out there, and who is litening, then, I start to digress, and I talk about religion, and some other interesting videos.
