    Please let the old timey beard look die already. I’m not having sex with a dude that looks like that.

    Is this happening anywhere outside US? Because every American radio station, TV program, podcast etc. seems to be fiiled to the brim with these annoying sound effects, ads, and with obnoxious testoreone imbued speaker.

    And I don’t remember encountering it anywhere in Europe.

      I haven’t listened to radio in >10 years, but back in the day they had a bunch of pre-recorded station ID messages like this in Germany, France and some African countries.

        Yeah I think every radio station uses these pre-recorded snippets, but they are usually rather mild and they serve to remind you that “yup, you’re still listening to our radio btw, ok bye”

      I’ve never listened to much radio but I have a distinct memory of drinking in a bar in Dominican Republic and hearing air horn sfx throughout the night

      i dont remember many sound effects, but the testosterone imbued speaker is definitely in one of the big privately-owned rock radios in germany.

      one thing that always annoyed me tho is when stations play snippets of really good music in their announcements or adverts, and then resume to playing the boring songs they played the last 3 hours.

    Many years ago my station of choice when driving to work started running an advert for car safety. The sound effect was a loud blaring car horn and the sounds of screaming tires and a crash. The first, second, third time I heard it was instant jolt of panic and left me jittery. I switched stations after the third time.

    I remember that one station that would advertise that they would play “uninterrupted music” during certain parts of the day. Only to then constantly interrupting it to tell us how they currenlty playing “uninterrupted music”.

    I just noticed the headphones in the picture are Audeze LCD 2, I think. Expensive AF. In case anyone wanted to know that.
