“ One major aspect that ’ s gone is a live DJ on the air being moved at the moment by what they ’ re being moved by ,” said Schlossberg . “ Even on the free form stations of today they ’ re picking the music , but are recording their voice tracks , and editing for broadcast later on .” Schlossberg likens it to somebody calling the DJ to let them know they ’ ve just had a baby and to see if they could have a song played for them . Then the DJ says congratulations on the air and plays 5 songs about babies or with the word baby or whatever the creative spark is for them at that moment . “ Today , radio is all prerecorded ,” he continues . “ To me , that ’ s not real radio . You might as well just tell Spotify what you like and it will play songs with the D . N . A . of what you like . But where is the surprise ? Where ’ s the human element ?” To follow the film ’ s progress and be alerted when the documentary has been completed , you can sign up for alerts at www . feastyourearsthefilm . com
