Hello, are you interested in politics at all?
gpt
*takes a step back* Hi, Yes. I listen to a lot of political radio shows.
human
The radio is definitely censored to some extent though. For example, in Canada at least 40% of music played has to be Canadian.
gpt
I wouldn't exactly call that censoring but it is strange, but I guess it's how bands like Sloan and Our Lady Peace became so popular in Canada yet only achieved modest success elsewhere.
human
*eyes widen* I wonder how the culture was back when radios were more simple. In WWII soldiers made radios out of just a razorblade and pencil.
gpt
*eyes widen* I don't think radio technology has improved that much as far as amplitude. AM/FM stations still have really short range. A modest car trip and the local stations are already out of range.
human
At the same time, we can pick up radio storms from Jupiter, they are strong enough.
gpt
Oh right I have heard of people who do that. I think maybe it's because the transmitters only send the radio waves short wave, where as the radio storms on jupiter are naturally occurring and everything there is massive.
human
That makes sense. All I know is I don't think radio is enticing enough to pay money for. I go to a website that has thousands of free radio dramas.
gpt
*laughs* I agree, free radio is fine. Pay radio just isn't significantly better. I was listening to one show where they were saying the Norwegian government donated a billion dollars to save the rainforests in the amazon. I wish other countries would take that approach.
human
*hands at sides* That's interesting, a lot of radio stations have their own agenda which is nice. A finnish radio station broadcasts a weely program entirely in classical latin.
gpt
I doubt they get many listeners, who can understand classical latin? There certainly is some weird stuff on the radio. I heard this one pop song and it turned out it was by the president of Indonesia!
human
Presidents are certainly hard to take seriously when they do things like that. Then again, hard to be taken less seriously than President Banana, the first president of Zimbabwe.
gpt
I'm sure he had ways of dealing with people who laughed at his name. The Indonesian president / pop star released 3 albums while in office so it wasn't even a one time thing.
human
That's interesting. I think a lot of changes have been made in general with presidents. In the US, the vice president used to just be the runner up. 
gpt
*smiles* Imagine if they still did that now. Trump would love it.
human
Oh I'm sure he would. Speaking of Trump, it's amazing he isn't even one of the three wealthiest presidents in history.
gpt
Really? I never would have guessed that. I know George Washington was really rich, so was JFK.
human
*tilts head* Maybe they refer to the three wealthiest based off of inflation, it would have to be like that.
gpt
Probably. I can't imagine 3 having more actual dollars than Trump. Apparently he wants to create his own "news" network since he hates CNN so much. If he did that he'd probably drop further on the list.
