RIP Terrestrial Radio
In the latest episode of Midnight Hostility Radio, Namo takes us on a journey through the evolution of radio from the badass 80s and 90s to the current pathetic landscape, which he critiques as quite lacking balls. This reflection sheds light on the nostalgic allure of earlier broadcasts while questioning the quality and depth of modern offerings which has resulted in radio being dead for many years.
Howard Stern’s Continued Irrelevance
Namo elaborates on Sirius XM’s recent decision to extend their contract with Howard Stern for an additional three years for some reason. This move raises interesting questions about the nature of content that captivates audiences in an age dominated by fleeting digital trends and why it’s so important for Sirius to have a name on their lineup that hasn’t been relevant for 15 years. Is Stern’s established presence merely a relic of the past and who would listen to him at this point?
Examining Celebrity and Political Worship
Furthermore, Namo delves into the complexities surrounding the Epstein files and how celebrity and political worship skew public perception. Namo discusses how blind admiration can distort views of those involved and emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing narratives created by mainstream, biased media. Basically, the commentary networks look the other way if their celebrity/political crushes have shown up on the list.
Outdated Formats and The Great Frankie MacDonald
Lastly, Namo critically assesses the outdated formats of late-night talk shows and subscription-based radio. As we look ahead, he introduces listeners to the forthcoming debut of the great Frankie MacDonald in his first 2026 appearance on Midnight Hostility Radio. As usual, Frankie kills it with his world renowned weather report and his daily thoughts on everything going on in the news.
