I always wondered if Alice Cooper is doing that for multiple radio stations :) A local German radio station (Radio Bob) has a weekly show with him as well. I guess the same prerecorded stuff with a few custom "you are listening to..." mixed in!

Regarding "just to pay some celebrity".. well, that is currently way out of our budget, as everything offered so far is 100% free and there are no plans to change that :)

That's super cool! It's probably all the same across the stations, yeah, although it still is quite fun to hear the songs he picks and why. One of the things he would always do was have a pair of songs that shared some theme that he would share afterwards, and it was fun to try to guess. The only two I remember offhand were some song called "Jack the Ripper" and then "Midnight Rambler" by the Rolling Stones with the theme "about serial killers", and then "God Gave Rock and Roll To You" by Argent along with "Since You Been Gone" by Rainbow, which were apparently written by the same guitarist.

Oh, definitely, I wasn't offering this as a completely serious suggestion so much as something that I could totally see one of the major tech companies doing to try to separate themself from the pack
