There are a few Instagram accounts that operate anonymously. Now comes a podcast that is somewhat anonymous.
A 15 year radio pro dubbed "Radio Girl" reveals enough about herself to tell us why she has embarked on this project, and also showing us that while the podcast's artwork is AI, she definitely is a real person. She shares candid insights about the challenges of working in radio, including toxic workplace dynamics, sexual harassment, and the the dysfunctional relationships. She explains her decision to create an anonymous show as a way to process her experiences and provide a platform for honest conversations about radio's behind-the-scenes realities.
I asked her about her motivation for creating the podcast as a personal creative outlet, her experiences of sexual harassment in the workplace, the challenges faced by women in radio, and whether this show can this show be a contributor to positive change.

Episode 2 dropped the same day our episode did. Have a listen.
Other Anonymous Radio Things
I mentioned up above that there are some Instagram accounts that post things anonymously. I have mixed feelings about doing things anonymously. I have always believed in signing your name to your work but telling the truth shouldn't come at the expense of one's career. I'm also convinced that information wouldn't come out at all unless it was done anonymously.
Shitty Radio Jock: I do love that the candor and honesty. This person has written columns for Barrett Sports Media.
