I had the honor of speaking to a Media Business class at a local university this last week. I can now cross off College Professor on the list of jobs I want to try but don’t really want to do (that joins elevator operator, ice cream scooper, handyman, public works guy, and bartender). As for the class… let me give you a piece of advice: the week that YouTube sells for $1.6 billion is not the best time to dazzle the youth of America with your plans for non-profit radio. Eventually, they warmed up to my talk and even peppered me with some tough questions at the end. In response to one question, I referenced Friendster. Not one of them had heard of it. How quickly fortunes fade. Next time I speak to a class, I’ll be ready with all the right lingo. Hilarious.
