What is Backstory and what does it mean? Well - there is BACKSTORY as in according to Wikipedia it is: In narratology, a back-story (also back story or backstory) is the history behind the situation extant at the start of the main story.Now the way it is used in modern vernacular is that when it comes to news it means the real deal. The story that tells the truth behind the headlines and the packaged product of anything you might hear, read, or see that has been edited for it's content.Now - what does BACKSTORY on the RADIO mean? It means that I get to take you on a radio journey in discovering delightful, intelligent, thought-provoking and funny people to share a story or two with you about the real things at hand, whatever it may be at the moment. It's a slice of life like an author telling their secrets about how their book really made it to print and the tricks they used to get it written. It's old friends and new friends telling us the real story of the things they love the most about the places we'll visit each week. It's songwriters giving us an inside glimpse of what inspired them to write a particular song, or how a melody slipped into their dreams, then rock and rolled them awake until they got up and wrote down the entire song. It's artist painting words for us on the radio so that we can see the world through their eyes.BACKSTORY on the RADIO is like taking a roadtrip and finding yourself in a new place that feels so familiar, so good, so inviting, that you decide to pull over and stay awhile.I'm River Jordan and I have the pleasure of being your radio tour guide as we travel together to the places where there are stories, songs, and words we're all longing to hear.BACKSTORY -great music, great stories, and great company.
