Summary

Radio Station Shutdowns explores the decline of radio stations, examining the economic challenges and regulatory shifts impacting the media industry. The book highlights how terrestrial radio, once a dominant form of mass media, faces increasing pressure from digital disruption and declining advertising revenue. A key insight is the disproportionate impact of these forces on smaller, independent, and community broadcasters, threatening the diversity of voices and local content.

 
The book analyzes the history of radio, dissects the financial instability caused by competition from online streaming, and presents case studies of station closures. It also delves into government regulations, such as spectrum allocation, and their influence on the radio landscape. By combining industry reports and interviews, Radio Station Shutdowns offers a unique perspective on the challenges facing radio broadcasting. The book progresses from radio's early days through to possible adaptation strategies for the digital age.

Unspoken - The Silent Truth...

Liz Harvie, Eve Hatton

“I was two when the woman I called Mummy told me, ‘You came out of another mummy’s tummy.’ I grew up thinking that my birth mother didn’t want me. I assumed there must’ve been something inherently wrong with me – why else would a mother give up her baby?”
In 1974, Liz Harvie – born Claire Elaine Watts – was given up for adoption by her birth mother Yvonne. Claire was just eight weeks old when her adoptive parents took her in – and renamed her Elizabeth.
Although brought up in a ‘perfect’ household, the emotional – and physical – trauma of being taken from her biological mother would never leave Liz. She constantly wondered: what does my real mum look like? Will she come back for me? Why did she abandon me? But whenever Liz voiced such questions, she invariably received the same response: “Your birth parents were not married. They couldn’t look after you.”
Years later, aged twenty-eight, Liz reconnected with her birth mother – and finally learned the shocking truth surrounding her adoption. Yvonne had not abandoned her daughter. A social worker had snatched her ten-day-old baby from her arms. “I didn’t even get a final cuddle. She just took her away from me,” says Yvonne.
Liz became one of 185,000 victims of forced adoption between 1949 and 1976 in England and Wales. As a young unmarried mum, Yvonne was deemed unfit as a parent by the government, churches, adoption agencies and her father – and made to give up her child against her will.
Although reunited, Liz and Yvonne are still struggling to cope with the agony resulting from their devastating separation. As Liz says, “We can’t just skip hand in hand into the sunset. The trauma of being a forced adoptee is lifelong.”

After studying film production in the early nineties Prana was able to fulfill his lifelong desire to travel to India. admittedly his first trip changed his life completely and forever. "At that point," He recalls, "my thirst for material knowledge turned to desire to understand the spiritual side of life. For the next six years I returned frequently to, where I studied many different paths of Hinduism, Buddhism and other forms of yoga and meditation. However, even after learning and experiencing so much I was still left incomplete." in 2001 during the young man's sixth trip to India, he travelled to Vrindavan, a holy town associated with Lord Krishna south of Delhi.

Burned by Billionaires - How...

Chuck Collins

Recently, it has become increasingly evident that extreme concentrations of wealth and power have profound impacts on our politics, but extreme inequality's influence on our daily lives—and our futures—has been vastly overlooked.In Burned by Billionaires, Chuck Collins, an author and a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC, chronicles how the actions of the top .01% have severe consequences for the rest of us. Collins takes down the "myth of meritocracy," unraveling how the rich rig the game in their favor, resulting in a concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny (but growing) class of billionaires—leading to intense income and political polarization. Collins charts this economic, social, and ecological destruction and shows how these effects manifest in every facet of our society. 
 
Collins argues that perhaps, worst of all, the concentration of wealth and power is leading to political hijacking, undermining the democratic principle that our votes matter equally. This book is an urgent call-to-action and road map to a more equitable society, where everyone has access to the resources that will allow them to thrive. Burned by Billionaires offers a pointed prescription for taking power back from the billionaire class and achieving the shared prosperity that comes from a healthy and equal society.

The Hebrew Saga

Gershon Rubin

A personal and philosophical meditation on the Hebrew Bible, its stories, and its sages.In this volume, Gershon Rubin attempts to draw the secrets of the antediluvian world into the modern day. Through the lens of a lifetime of spiritual learning, he explores the ancient saga of creation, Adam and Eve, and the generations to come after. As Rubin states by way of introduction to The Hebrew Saga, “My first name, Gershon, is similar to the Greek word geron (old man). Thus through my ‘geronoscope,’ I view the over-four-thousand-year-long written history of the Hebrew nation, which resulted in the origination of this my world-view, or world outlook.”
