I thought a lot of people who aren't crazy about radio feel that way because they hate the ads, don't like the music and seem intolerant of announcers. So what then to make of a new app called "Rad" that essentially tries to recreate radio using only the songs you like but providing commentary between tunes using an A.I. DJ? I get the idea of using your own Spotify list to hear just stuff you like, but that electronic announcer as heard in the promo video below? 

I'd frankly rather have the real thing than this.

From the music:ally site. 

“Rad’s not just a DJ, he’s a news anchor, weather man, traffic reporter and music expert. Throughout the day you’ll learn about the backstories of artists, whether today today is a shorts and t-shirt or umbrella kinda day, how much traffic you can expect on your commute and hear the local news stories as they happen.”

In other words, radio. So why bother?

The lesson: ready or not, here comes something else to replace us all!
