LARP Testimonials

"I cannot imagine anyone involved or interested in radio who lives in Southern California not subscribing to LARadio.com. It amazes me how tuned in to all facets of the radio industry Don Barrett is, and on a daily basis, not weekly or monthly.

The information gathered from such a multitude of sources is indeed phenomenal, and the preparation for the outstanding features and profiles of personalities is impressive.

LARadio.com is an entertaining read and one of the first Web sites I go to each day. May it continue to thrive successfully."

"Don Barrett’s Web site is the only one I read daily. Don has brought an entire radio community together.

Broadcasters and fans have a forum to discuss what is good, and what is bad with radio. LARadio.com has kept friendships alive, and reunited former colleagues through the email directory. Whether it’s good news or bad, I know I’ll be kept up to date through Don’s site."

"Alvin Toffler, author of Future Shock & War/Antiwar wrote: "...The person who can process the largest variety of information will be best suited to thrive in the new world order."

Even though most in the LA radio community are successful, they could be more so by subscribing to LARadio and accessing as much information as they can about their community. A subscription to your site as well as subscriptions to other publications can greatly improve awareness and insight into the day to day L.A. media landscape.

In my opinion, the spotlight that you shine on the LA Radio marketplace makes for a stronger industry, regardless of the good or bad initial implications of any story you run. In my view of the world today, all news that gets the attention of the consumer can be great news if the correct part is focused for the target audience, but you have to be aware of the news quickly and have the attitude of focusing it to your advantage ASAP.

Here's an example: The time is now for Wendy's to make light of the crime committed against them and come out with a 'free finger food' menu that you get when you order a bowl of chili. The core audience for Wendy's [m18-24] would think that is a 'loose and laid back way' to deal with the fast food chain being screwed over by one person falsely. The nervous approach that Wendy's is taking now of trying to win back fringe customers as if they had done something wrong via an apology makes folks nervous to go there. Until Wendy's is willing to laugh about the crime committed against them, they will not maximize their situation.

In the meantime, Paris Hilton is likely putting burger sales through the roof all over the Southland. Don, if you can get her and the gardener from Desperate Housewives to do spots like that for LARadio.com you will see a bump in subscriptions vs. me rambling on and on in a testimonial for you. But you already know that.

Don, seriously, keep up the good work. I will always be a loyal subscriber."

Why you should subscribe to LARadio.com!

"I know a lot of people log on to LARadio.com to get the dirt from other stations....but I actually read it each day to find out what's going on at my station!

In all seriousness, Don busts his @*#% [FCC violation] to bring us all the LARP news, day in and day out. And to prove to you how powerful it us, subscribe for a month, and then try to quit cold turkey! It's tougher than drugs and alcohol! I know, I've been there!!!"

Representing so many LA based local and syndicated radio personalities, LARadio.com is absolutely indispensable to me. Personally, I love the article clipping service - knowing that any important news article on radio is waiting in my inbox.
Don's extensive and passionate coverage provides an invaluable service promoting both on-air talent and our medium in general. When is the last time you picked up Variety or the Hollywood Reporter and found any in depth coverage of radio? I recommend to all of my on-air clients that they subscribe - because staying informed and up to date on the business of radio can really contribute to your overall career success and longevity.

LARadio.com is REQUIRED READING for me. Why? Because, even though I may not always agree with the opinions expressed, I ALWAYS learn something from the information contained on L.A. Radio's past, present and future.

All of us who love this business are lucky to have this uniquely dedicated resource available to us here in L.A. Long life to LA Radio AND LARadio.com!!
