I made a documentary, "WZZQ the Movie", about the 1970's rock radio station in Jackson Mississippi whose influence reached far beyond the state. If you like southern culture, the 70's or Dan Fogelberg it's worth a watch. Streaming on Mississippi Public Broadcasting + PBS www.pbs.org/video/wzzq-t....

πŸš—πŸ“» What goes in to documenting how the top 100 best-selling cars in the U.S. display radio metadata?

Just want to introduce myself. I'm a journalist in CT who primarily writes about classics cars and motorcycles. I have a YouTube channel (RIDE-CT) and the websites classiccars.ride-ct.com and ride-ct.com (for motorcycles) that require a lot of photo-taking. Welcome!

I also joke that, for a while, I felt like I was on the Roberta Flack beat (an actual dream). I've written about her a few times over the years, like this piece for PBS. I really loved her work www.pbs.org/wnet/america...
