Ep 2. Internet Radio

People Just Do Nothing is a British mockumentary sitcom that chronicles the lives of a group of MCs and DJs from the fictitious pirate radio station Kurupt FM in West London. In the second episode of season 5, entitled "Internet Radio", the Kurupt FM crew are forced to confront the reality of the changing media landscape as they struggle to keep up with the times and make the transition from a pirate radio station to a legitimate online platform.

After the events of the previous episode, where MC Grindah realized that the crew's pirate radio license had expired without their knowledge, the Kurupt FM team decides to take the leap and start broadcasting on the internet. However, the crew quickly discovers that operating an internet radio station is not as easy as they thought it would be.

All of a sudden, they face new challenges that they had not anticipated, such as building a website, creating social media accounts, and learning to operate new software. None of the Kurupt FM crew members are tech-savvy, and they quickly realize that this new venture requires them to put in more work than they thought, even recruiting their friend and fan Chabuddy G to become their web developer.

Meanwhile, Beats, one of the DJs at Kurupt FM, starts to feel left out as he is not as comfortable with the transition to the internet as the others. He feels like the crew is moving on without him and becomes disillusioned with the whole idea of internet radio. Seeing his friend's frustration, Steves comes up with the idea of giving Beats a special task to do for the station, which will make him feel important and included.

One of the most significant challenges that Kurupt FM faces with the transition to internet radio is how to get their listeners to make the switch too. They come up with several schemes, including offering promotions and giveaways, as well as putting up posters around the neighborhood but quickly realized that they underestimate the power of the internet and decide to use social media and SEO to their advantage.

As the episode progresses, we see the Kurupt FM crew get frustrated with the technical challenges they face, but they eventually all pitch in to resolve them and make the station a success. Throughout the episode, they learn that just like in any other job, success on the internet requires hard work, creativity, and dedication. However, despite the challenges, they remain determined to succeed and continue to bring their unique brand of music to their audience.

In conclusion, the second episode of season 5 of People Just Do Nothing, "Internet Radio," explores how Kurupt FM adapts to the new media landscape by moving to the internet. The episode is both hilarious and insightful, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by small broadcasters trying to keep up with the changing times. The Kurupt FM crew perfectly captures the spirit of London's urban music scene and is an excellent representation of the ever-evolving world of underground music.
