Baby boomers are identified with youth culture. So who do they think they are when they get old? The answer may be in their stories, the ones they tell and the ones they share.

Participants in the program:

Keith Oatley, Professor Emeritus, Department of Human Development & Applied Psychology, University of Toronto.

Newspapers, publishing and the recording industry may all be in deep trouble from online media. But pronouncements about the death of radio are premature. Contributor Garth Mullins believes we're witnessing the dawning of a radio renaissance.

end-of-dial-garth.jpgVideo was supposed to kill the radio star. Now we're told the internet is going to finish it off. There are budget cuts, radio signals are dropping off the dial and transmitters are being mothballed. But Garth Mullins isn't ready to pull the plug just yet. He's been a radio-head from the start, listening to shortwave, working in community radio and now making programs and podcasts. And he's hearing a radio renaissance.

Garth talks to Elizabeth Hay, author of Late Nights On Air about radio in the north. Digital media scholar Ethan Zuckerman argues that radio is still important in a wired world. Garth also meets up with Ryan McMahon, Anishinaabe comedian and podcast media maker. Ira Glass, host of This American Life, asks if it's really necessary to make "a radio show that says, aww, radio is great." Well, this is that show.

We hear the story of El Salvador's underground Radio Venceremos and the sounds of Cold War Era Shortwave (thanks to Paul Dougherty). Aljaz Pengov Bitenc from Slovenia's Radio Kaos talks about WWII antifascist transmissions. Radio static art is provided by Anna Friz.
Garth tunes into new online radio voices like 99% Invisible, How Sound, Radiolab, and Curious City.
