“The Gravitational Pull” by Daniel Gabbe
I was young when I fell for radio. I fell asleep listening to Phillies games and reruns of radio serials like The Shadow on the local AM station. I got my broadcasting license at a summer camp in the Poconos and waged a one-man war on behalf of heavy metal at age 11, even though people had to be within a few hundred yards to hear it. A local alternative station in Ohio introduced me to Nirvana and Joy Division. My father had done play-by-play on WPRB for Princeton basketball as an undergraduate in the 60s. I loved radio, and I knew about PRB, but I didn’t know that the radio station would bend the course of my whole life.
