		<title>The Real Life Survival Guide: A Progress Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having finished the &#8220;first pass&#8221; on the Real Life Survival Guide website, we’ve been hard at work on a new version of the corresponding radio show. In the past, the site (and an earlier program) were made up of a series of interviews with experts on &#8220;life&#8217;s little problems&#8221;, and we began the process of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Navigating Change &#8211; It&#8217;s The Network!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the first few years after I went out on my own, I wasn&#8217;t making the kinds of connections I needed to make. (I was &#8211; and still am &#8211; working on the creation of  a radio program and online community dedicated to &#8220;sharing stuff you should know&#8221;.) Then, in the Spring of 2009, a wonderful [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Rise of the &#8220;Creative Independent&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The great recession has really shuffled the deck when it comes to our employment status. Full time positions are being eliminated, and certain tasks are being farmed out to freelancers. At the same time, digital technology has dramatically changed the infrastructure requirements for creative independents. Filmmakers, for example, used to require expensive cameras, lighting equipment [...]]]></description>

		<title>Content is Still King</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my top priorities these days is the planned relaunch of &#8220;The Real Life Survival Guide&#8221;, a Website and radio show dedicated to helping people deal with everyday problems. Traditional media meets digital I&#8217;m excited about the prospect of producing a traditional radio show that is closely tied to a Web-based community. People will [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Public Option. Public Radio, That Is&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As someone who&#8217;s been involved in the radio business for over 30 years, I can honestly say that the only radio content that seems to inspire me these days is the stuff that&#8217;s being produced by non-commercial, or &#8220;public&#8221; stations. (Full disclosure &#8211; I work for one.) Why is this the case? I believe that [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Radio Lover&#8217;s Call To Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love radio. (There, I said it. Man, that feels good.) Unfortunately, my &#8220;lover&#8221; is in deep trouble. Our programming is over-researched and homogenous. &#8220;Personalities&#8221; are cliches, mocked on Family Guy. Radio has become tiresome and BORING. As a result, advertisers won&#8217;t pay what they used to, and talented people are losing their jobs. This should [...]]]></description>
