Listening to the Radio

Kurt: Turn that radio down!

Gloria: No way! I’m listening to a Simulcast of a performance and it’s Live.

Kurt: Is it on Campus radio?

Gloria: No, it’s on the Public radio Station. I finally got good Reception after putting this long Antenna outside my window and I’m not turning it off now.

Kurt: You are so Low-tech. I can’t believe you’re still listening to AM/FM radio. You should get Satellite radio. You get shows in hundreds of Formats, and there are a lot of Stations without DJs. And there’s never any Static!

Gloria: I like listening to the regular Broadcast radio. I don’t have to pay for it and I’m happy with the stations we have in this city. You’re just a technology Snob. If it’s high-tech, you love it and have to have it.

Kurt: It’s true that I know quality when I see it, and I don’t Settle for less. What’s wrong with that?

Gloria: Nothing, but I don’t have To jump on the bandwagon. Now, be quiet. I’m trying to listen.

Kurt: Fine. This is the thanks I get for trying to give you a little good advice.

Gloria: Shh!
