“The Pirate Cat story is about filling a need that remains largely unmet by the Internet and conventional radio since the Clear Channel ascendancy. People still want old school radio stations. They want local brick-and-mortar places where they can actually hang out and share music not on Facebook or Spotify, but in real-time physical proximity of each other.”
