âitâs related to a big picture view of the decline of terrestrial radio including shortwave. Interesting piece.
 And what does NPR have to do with Shortwave radio? I view this as off topic and not appropriate for this group

"A slow-moving bureaucracy. An antiquated business model. A horde of 
upstart competitors. Can National Public Radio survive?" 
 
An interesting look at the antiquated US public radio in the midst of 
overall declines in terrestrial radio. I don't know if I agree that 
podcasts are a reason for the declining NPR audiences. (Despite living 
on the internet since 1993, I just don't care for podcasts, past or 
present.) In my opinion, the program content and presentation is 
stupefying dull. Your mileage may vary. :)
