Free Internet Radio Gets A Slap In The Face
In 2005, Apple released a new iTunes update that changed the way America has entertained itself during work hours at a cubicle. This was the moment that pod-casting really took off because of the support of such a huge company like Apple. Soon enough, people started spreading the good word about how great free Internet radio is. The competition is enormous, with hundreds of new pod casts springing up on a weekly basis. This means that there are literally thousands of available shows and the cream naturally rises to the top.
What is truly great about free Internet radio, is that it is in no way monitored by the FCC. The Federal Communications Commission has waged war on Free Speech for as long as I can remember. Now that there is a form of communication that they have no jurisdiction over, we can really see how pod-casters bud and flourish. Shows that are offensive and vulgar just for the sake of being so, typically are not very funny. It takes a special skill to take offensive material and make it palatable to the masses.
There is one show on the rise that has garnered much attention from the free Internet radio listeners out there. This show is called Foul Mouth Radio, and it certainly lives up to its name. The show is run by a duo called Captain C.B. and his co-host, Cannon. They are joined by a lascivious lady they call Melons. At times misogynistic and crass, but also pertinent and sincere, the show walks a tightrope between offending and endearing. Many have described the show as being well done because it gives the comforting feeling of sitting around with some great friends and everyone saying whatever comes to mind. The conversation is natural, never forced, and real. Nothing like this could exist outside the Internet.
Foul Mouth Radio’s parent company, Foul Mouth Shirts, began producing the show 4 years ago as a means of “advertainment”. This was a means of entertaining people, while still bringing attention to the quality of their product. The show started fairly small, but quickly moved up to having its own Web site. People talked about how much they enjoyed the show to their friends, and then those people talked to their friends. People like sharing great things, and The Capt. C.B. and Cannon Show’s spin on free Internet radio proved to be one of those rare, great things.
Of course, the company’s stance on 1st Amendment rights works both ways. There are so many people in America who have listened to nothing but censored radio for so long, that Foul Mouth Shirts can be quite intimidating. What these people fail to take into account is that Foul Mouth Radio has never pandered itself to those of us who are intimidated by free speech and thought. The proprietors of the show only want those who have a willingness to thumb their nose at conventions of proper etiquette. Foul Mouth Radio is for the crude, and free Internet radio may never be the same.
