    Stranger Than Friction - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It seems like every conversation about the future of radio eventually turns into a conversation about digital. Digital revenue. Digital impressions. Digital attribution. Digital strategy. Digital transformation. We spend so much time worrying about how radio is going to compete with digital that I wonder if we’ve missed something much more important.
