So, this is it.
The end of the road.
Three long years of slot changes, additional content, new listeners, and a desire to do something good. I've been doing this, and all the while I've been learning: about patience, about growth, about respect, and about community. This show has been the only real constant during my undergrad career. Friends and partners have come and gone, but Fight the Power has been with me the whole time. Kinda like a jacket I didn't realize that I was outgrowing until it was too late. But now it's time to say goodbye.
Maybe I'll be back during grad school; that's an option I'm giving myself. Maybe I won't be.
I remember there was a time when I was worried that no one was listening to my show; at the time, I barely had 100 likes, and no one was calling in. I felt discouraged, but then someone told me that likes and callers are no reflection of who's really listening, and that people talk about my show. I can never know, and I just have to believe that things are going to work out.
The biggest lesson from Fight the Power has been time.
You can fight the Shocker, you can fight the Octarians; you can fight Eggman. Heck, You can even fight the law. You can fight the power, and don't forget that.
But you can't fight time. Just remember that.
I'm passing on this show to someone whom I trust. Her name is Binh, and she's going to take this to new heights. The tumblr is going to die out, and I'll let the page follow suit; I'll keep them as resumes and trophies. Hopefully I'll move on to new things in the broadcasting industry. But nothing will be as big or as great as Fight the Power was to me.
It's been real.
Stay golden, my friends.
