Dvorak highlights the banning of the song Sweet Caroline at Penn State University following the Jerry Sandusky scandal. He claims the song was originally written about a 12-year-old Caroline Kennedy, making the lyrics "touching me, touching you" inappropriate in the context of the school's recent history.

While radio culture remains strong in the UK through outlets like BBC Radio 4, American radio is often criticized for being overly commercial or "ponderous" in the case of NPR. Independent podcasts are filling the gap for listeners seeking contemporary personalities and niche topics. Some listeners still find value in "low-brow" formats like sports talk radio or political chatter for entertainment.
